Subject: Lamar County birds
From: Charlie <cmmbirds(AT)YAHOO.COM>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 8:35am
Hi folks,
Daily walks with our son, and 5-minute stops at Bottoms Road (off
route 36, just north/east of Barnesville) have produced a lot of
nice, if not rare, birds.
Between Tracey and I, we have seen a Solitary Sandpiper in the same
location - I mean within about 3 square meters! on 4 separate days at
the Bottoms.
Just across from the sandpiper a Prairie Warbler has been sining, and
Allan, Tracey and I got to see it Tuesday.
A Palm Warbler hung around for quite a while at close range, singing,
at Allan's treefort yesterday. Allan got good looks at the yellow
undertail coverts and reddish-brown cap.
A handfull of Yellow-Rumped Warblers are still about, but getting
very scarce. Pine and Parula are singing all about, and Common
Yellowthroats are all about at the swamp. Now and then we hear a
Black-and-White or Hooded. I thought I heard a Worm-eating the other
day, but couldn't find it, and we do not have any habitat I would
expect them to be in. White-eyed Vireos seem to be completely on
territory now, and there are at least 2 territories fully within our
yard.
I saw 2 Common Nighthawks on Eady Creek Road last night. They were
flying around the lights in the church parking lot.
The American Goldfinch number in our yard are down to just about 20
at a time, but we still see a Pine Siskin or two just about every
day.
We are hearing 3-4 Whip-Poor-Wills at a time, but still have not
heard our first Chuck of the year.
Common Ground-doves are in breeding plumage and singing. We only see
one or two at a time now.
Brown-headed Nuthatches and Eastern Bluebirds are both chasing
chickadees, titmice and Chipping Sparrows (up to 30 at a time) off
the suet. The bluebirds are coming regularly to our hulled sunflower
seed.
Maybe not as exciting as Kennesaw, but at least we're doing it all on
foot!
Cheers,
Charlie Muise
Lamar County, GA

Subject: Cerulean Warbler continues 4/17, Athens Botanical
Gardens
From: Darlene Moore <djmoore67(AT)BELLSOUTH.NET>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 10:19am
GABOers,
Birding vicariously through others while being held prisoner at home due
to a corneal abrasion of my eye, Becky Valentine called to say she and
several other birders were able to successfully relocate the Cerulean
Warbler orginally found by Joel McNeal. The bird was slightly farther down
on the white trail but could be heard clearly calling. They did meet up
with Joel while there, and I am certain he will post a more detailed list
of sightings later.

Subject: Worm-eating Warbler Augusta, Ga
From: charles Scarborough <charlesscarborough(AT)GMAIL.COM>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 12:13pm
Around 5:50 pm yesterday afternoon in Pendleton King Park(off of
Troupe Street) Augusta, Ga in the swamp/thicket just past the 18th hole on
the Disc Golf Course there was 1 Worm-eating Warbler; I was able to run home
get a camera, and relocate & photograph the bird. This is the second year
in a row the species(possible individual??) has been in the same thicket in
mid-April. This "bird sanctuary" now made famous in the local news for the
prostitution sting and drug activity, actually still has great habitat of
thickets/swamp with convenient trails cut through for birding.

Subject: Yellow-breasted chat a highlight at Clyde Shepherd
today
From: stancha(AT)AOL.COM
Date: 17 Apr 2008 1:06pm
Migrants and summer residents are arriving at Clyde Shepherd, with my
highlight today being the yellow-breasted chat, heard repeatedly from
the back trail adjacent to the Saturn dealership, but seen only
fleetingly by Ellery McClintock and myself. Other warblers included
many yellow-rumped and palms, a couple of hoodeds, and the pine,
black-throated blue and black-throated green warblers. An indigo
bunting, female summer tanager, catbirds, and barn swallows were
present, as were numerous white-eyed and red-eyed vireos. The
ruby-crowned kinglets haven't left yet, and were singing all over the
preserve. I must have heard dozens of cardinals singing incessantly as
well, so loudly that it seemed that they were in a volume competition
with each other. The pond has returned, though the only waterfowl I saw
today were Canada geese. It was my first time out birding this month,
and it was great to hear all the songs of spring.

Subject: Caspian Terns & Huie Field Trip 4/19
From: Carol Lambert <CLambert(AT)CCWA1.COM>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 2:25pm
This morning, Lloyd Snyder spotted 4 CASPIAN TERNS on the south pond at
Huie in Clayton Co. They had left by 1pm when I was able to get there.
Although these ponds have not been very exciting since the waterfowl left,
this is a good example of the great birds that often drop in and wouldn't
be found if we don't keep checking the site. There've also been LEAST
SANDPIPERS there off and on, including today. Both the ponds and nearby
reservoirs are swarming with swallows...PURPLE MARTINS, TREE, N.
ROUGH-WINGED & BARN...perhaps others.
2 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS have shown up near the restrooms at the Shamrock
Reservoir. There are also still 4 LESSER SCAUP on Shamrock. A second pair
of OSPREY now have a nest at the Blalock reservoir on the powerline tower
near the creek and parking lot (where the Limpkin has shown up in recent
years). The Wetlands Center trail has been active with migrants including
RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, EASTERN KINGBIRD, RED-EYED, YELLOW-THROATED &
WHITE-EYED VIREOS, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, NORTHERN
PARULA, WORM-EATING, PALM, YELLOW-RUMPED, PRAIRIE & HOODED WARBLERS,
SUMMER TANAGER, etc. I've had BROAD-WINGED HAWKS overhead this week.
The Atlanta Audubon field trip to this site this Saturday, 5/19, will be
led by Malcolm Hodges and will start at 8am at the Wetlands Center.
Malcolm is a biologist & conservationist with The Nature Conservancy.
Among his many talents are birds and botany. The wetlands trail is the
perfect place to wander around with him, especially this time of year.
Everything's blooming on Beech Hill right now, which is prime time for a
visit. For directions, check the website www.ccwa.us. Also, remember the
I-75 construction in Atlanta on weekends and consider coming around 285 on
the east side to 675 to I-75 exit 221.

Subject: Observations in West Cobb
From: Bill Stockstill <size14d(AT)GMAIL.COM>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 2:24pm
The number of House Finches and American Goldfinches have greatly increased
at my feeders this week. Most of the male Goldfinches have completely donned
their summer coats. I have 2 seed feeders (black oil sunflower) away from my
house and one close. There can be a dozen or so finches, along with titmice,
dark eyed juncos, several pairs of northern cardinals, small flocks of
chipping sparrows and chickadees present in the mornings. I had a pair of
chickadees nest in my bluebird house which I put up last month. Also
visiting are a couple of crows now on a regular basis, and I have a pair of
starlings that come and stir things up every now and then. I have at least a
pair of downy woodpeckers that compete with the mockingbirds at the suet
feeders. There is a Carolina Wren who is being seen more often which is
great. Sadly, one of my favorites, a white breasted nuthatch has not been
seen since the time of the tornadoes a few weeks back. We had high winds, no
damage, but have not seen them since. This morning I saw a pair of blue
winged teal at our sub-division pond and a large duck/goose that was with a
Canadian goose. I figure it was a variation, all black with a yellow bill
and I think it had a white belly. Tall like a Canadian. I also saw a
Kingbird at the pond too. There is a Great Blue Heron who I have seen more
this week at a couple of ponds around here.
***On another note, I was in SW Florida last week and got to see several
limpkins, little blue herons, magnificent frigate birds, tricolor herons, a
red shouldered hawk chick and a red shouldered hawk snatch a baby gator for
lunch. I also got to see the threatened Florida Scrub Jay who fly up and
visit with you...incredible bird. I have posted photos on my flickr page.

Hi Everyone,
Days like these are why we live in north Georgia. We had our FOTY
Summer Tanager singing outside our offices at Elachee this morning.
Joining him was a White-eyed Vireo, a FOTY Chestnut-sided Warbler, a
Wood Thrush, A Great-crested Flycatcher and scores of chattering
Goldfinches.
Yesterday, We spotted a FOTY Hooded Warbler chipping away near Walnut
Creek and our first Indigo Bunting at one of our feeders. A group of
lucky students spotted an Osprey at Chicopee Lake and then enjoyed a
great fishing and eating demonstration. There was also a flock of about
30 Northern Rough-winged Swallows at Chicopee Lake later in the
afternoon.

Subject: Birding Problems
From: Todd Womack <TWomack(AT)COFFEE.K12.GA.US>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 3:51pm
I have discovered what I feel is a problem with what the stated goals of
GOS, BEN, and other bird/conservation groups and what sometimes happens in
carrying them out. One of the major birding initiatives, in not only
Georgia, but nationally is to increase the number of younger birders.
No one can deny that MOST birders are middle aged or far older. Yes, there
are a few younger binocular-toters out there, but most of them are in
training to be professional scientists, not amateur or avocational bird
watchers (i.e. those who actually drive and sustain the hobby).
Now my problem is that I see that many, if not most, birding workshops,
seminars, events, lectures, etc. are held at times that most young people
are in school or at work, i.e. during the week. Just look at the next month
or so of scheduled bird events around Georgia and you will see this clearly
illustrated. Also, this impacts many adult birders who are not retirees
with free time or the independently wealthy who can take off whenever.
As a birder who happens to be a high school teacher, I know from real life
that the main focus of most youth birding programs, that of elementary age
children should not be the only focus group. By the time these students get
to 11th or 12th grade it has been 6 years or more, if ever, since they
covered any part ornithology. The birding organizations need to shift some
of their attention to secondary education students and one of the ways they
can do this is to make sure, in this age of No Child Left Behind, that
ornithology, avian biology, or simply bird conservation are included and
not dropped from the state mandated curriculum as MANY subfields are. If
they do not appear on the state standardized test, the students will NEVER
be taught or exposed to it. Also, make sure materials are not just for
science classes, but many can be used in a cross-curricular manner. For
example, bird migration, bird extinction, and conservation issues are also
subjects that can be discussed in geography, World or US history classes as
well.
Please excuse me if this was not the appropriate forum for this.

Subject: State Botanical Garden, Athens; 17Apr08
From: Joel McNeal <j.mcneal(AT)YAHOO.COM>
Date: 17 Apr 2008 5:06pm
Hi GA birders,
James Neves, Bill O'Grady, Karla O'Grady, and I birded
the State Botanical Garden in Athens this morning. It
took them a while to get warmed up and start singing,
but 2 Cerulean Warblers continue along the White Trail
betwixt and including the powerline cut and the privet
eradication area (apparently one put on an eye-level
show for the out-of-town birders, while the best the
hometown crowd got was watching one at mid-canopy
dispatch a larva nearly the size of its head). It was
another 15 warbler species morning, with most hanging
out in approximately the same localities they've been
all week. I'll be sad when this reliable cast of
characters moves on, but I anxiously await the next
group of arrivals (which will hopefully include some
Wood Thrushes, more Tanagers, Blue Grosbeaks, and some
new warbler species- like Swainson's...). There was a
Barred Owl on a branch over the river on the White
Trail about halfway upstream (we weren't able to pet
it, unfortunately). We had 63 total species,
including recently-returned Indigo Bunting, Summer
Tanager, and Acadian Flycatcher. Highlights:
Barred Owl 1
Acadian Flycatcher 1
Blue-winged Warbler 3
Orange-crowned Warbler 2
Northern Parula 7
Yellow-rumped Warbler 10

The Pig Trails is a place located on Mumford road in Macon. They call it the
Pig trails because years ago there used to be wild pigs there, but they
trapped them and hauled them out. It has a good variety of habitats like a
pond for waterfowl, pine forest for Pine warbler and Brown headed
nuthatches, a field for Eastern bluebirds and Field sparrows. It also has a
creek surrounded with bottomland forest habitat. It looks good for Louisiana
waterthrush, Hooded warbler, Acadian flycatcher, Swainson's warbler,
Northern parula and all the other species that like bottomland forest
habitat. I am currently keeping a list for the place and right now it has 37
species. I added a few more today. Its a good place to go. We had to leave
kind of early becuase it was getting dark, so we birded for about 30
minutes. Here is the whole list. Didn't get much due to how late it was.

Subject: Yellow-headed blackbirds in Montezuma

As of this evening (4/17), the yellow-headed blackbirds were still at the same
location they were reported at last week: 318 Miller Rd., outside Montezuma
(Delorme 42, F2). I counted six in the cattle enclosure right alongside the
road.

Sorry all! In regards to the Eastern Phoebe I saw in my yard, Jeff alerted
me that I forgot to post my location. So here it is for those of you who did
not know and want to know.
Happy birding,
