The Cochran Shoals unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) is a favorite metro Atlanta birding spot due to its location along the Chattahoochee River that attracts a healthy mix of birds, especially during migration. During the height of migration, the species totals here reach the high 60s, with the highlight being a great variety of migratory warbler species, including Canada Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Chestnut-sided Warbler, and Blackburnian Warbler that forage in the trees alongside the river. This guided trip will be led by Georgia Audubon’s Director of Conservation, Adam Betuel, and is an opportunity not to be missed.
