Tips for birding Clayton County Water Authority
These sites, owned and operated by the Clayton County Water Authority, are the metro area's singular best all-around birding area if you are looking for variance in habitat and species. The E. L. Huie facility is one of the best inland locations for shorebirds and waterfowl in the state. There are five ponds inside the facility, and birders can drive the dikes for good views at each pond. The Newman Wetlands Center has trails and boardwalks through wetlands and woodlands and yields a variety of birds, particularly during migration. The self-guided boardwalk tour through the wetlands can yield Prothonotary and Kentucky Warblers, and Louisiana Waterthrush during the breeding season.

Take I-75 south beyond I-285 to US-19/41 (Tara Blvd., exit 235); drive south for 8.2 miles to Freeman Road and turn left. The Clayton County Authority office is a quarter-mile down Freeman Rd. on the right. The pond complex is across the street. The Wetlands Center is farther down Freeman Road on the right, just beyond the bridge. From Clayton County Water Authority (Atlanta Audubon Society) webpage
