Subject: Ogeechee Audubon Forsyth Park (Savannah) Warbler
Walk Rpt
From: "Sandra (Sandy) Beasley" <SavBirder(AT)AOL.COM>
Date: 16 Apr 2008 7:50am
Hi All,
The second OAS Warbler Walk in forsyth Park (FP) was held Tuesday morning
(April 15). Again the weather conditions were less than ideal--chilly (45 d F),
overcast, and breezy at times. Four hardy birders ( ; ) or is that an
oxymoron?) lingered around the fountain until about 7:45 am, hoping for
warming,
sunnier weather and other birders . Last week our only warbler was a
yellow-rumped and better prospects weren't looking too good for this week.
However
as time passed our warbler count increased.
Results:
Warblers: Black and White, Hooded, Parula, Worm-eating, and the ubiquitous
Yellow-rumped. PRETTY GOOD
In addition to the usual FP birds, we had a RED-TAILED HAWK, SUMMER TANAGER,
GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER.
We're still waiting for an Ovenbird and more warblers.
Future Warbler Walks in Forsyth Park are Tuesday, April 22 and April 29 at
start at 7:15 at the fountain.
Good Birding,
Sandy Beasley

Hi Folks,
We had some nice birds near the Nature Center and some of the adjoining

Ovenbirds, 2 Palm Warblers, a Blue-Grey Gnatcatcher, 6 Red-eyed Vireo,
and a Blue-headed Vireo.
Yesterday near Walnut Creek we had a pair of LA Watherthrushed and a
FOTY Hooded Warbler.
Next week, Elachee will again offer its week of Birding hikes to good
spots in the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve and other areas throughout
Hall County. Hikes will begin at 8:00 AM each morning and should last
for 2-3 hours.

Date: 16 Apr 2008 12:22pm
Hi GA birders,
James Neves and I birded just the lower powerline and
white trail along the Middle Oconee River at the State
Botanical Garden early this morning. Although the
looks were mostly crummy, and the birds only sang
sporadically in the cold, we managed 15 warblers and
60 total species. Two Cerulean Warblers persisted
near the privet eradication area (both were across the
river when we left). Highlights were:
Broad-winged Hawk 1 (botgarden First Of The
Season)
Acadian Flycatcher 1 (FOTS)
Blue-winged Warbler 2
Orange-crowned Warbler 3
Northern Parula 6
Yellow-rumped Warbler 8
Yellow-throated Warbler 1
Pine Warbler 4
Prairie Warbler 2
Cerulean Warbler 2
Black-and-white Warbler 3
American Redstart 1
Worm-eating Warbler 2
Louisiana Waterthrush 1
Kentucky Warbler
Common Yellowthroat 3
Hooded Warbler 5
Indigo Bunting 1 (botgarden FOTS)
Good birding,
Joel McNeal

Subject: Panola Spring Bird Hikes
From: Phil Delestrez <Phil.Delestrez(AT)DNR.STATE.GA.US>
Date: 16 Apr 2008 12:33pm
This past week, we have had Prairie Warblers, Northern Parulas, and Wood
Thrushes all in the area we will be walking tomorrow. Also, first of the spring
Orchard Oriole, Indigo Buntings, and Chimney Swifts near Alexander Lake area.
We just burned the grasslands in the Power of Flight wetland area, very patchy
burn which should create a diversity of micro-habitats. Some areas burned
completely, some areas did not burn at all, some areas burned but left lots of
standing cover. If you want to join me on the walk, meet me at the parking area
at Alexander Lake Road and Flatbridge Rd, near Alexander Lake at 7:00 am. All
birding levels welcome, in fact I could use some help from more experienced
birders.

I just had 2 beautiful male Goldfinches on my feeder! The bird activity has
really picked up at my feeder with House Finches, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina
Chickadees, Brown Thrasher, and Blue Jay. I am so glad the activity has
picked back up.
Take care and God bless,

Subject: Summer Tanager & other FOTS in Ware Co. plus
updates
From: Sheila Willis <swillis(AT)WAYXCABLE.COM>
Date: 16 Apr 2008 8:46pm
Hey folks,
Hope you are fine. Here is a quick note on FOTS & others for Waycross, Ware
Co. for 4/16:
BARRED OWL: called again during the afternoon from its oak tree nest
FISH CROW: 2 flew together into my yard with a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD after
one
GRAY CATBIRD: FOTS, at least 3, possibly 4, showed up together today in my
backyard in the afternoon & were dashing around in the shrubbery. One
decided to go to the top of a branch & do the "meow". The Red Mulberry fruit
around my feeders has not long turned red & when it gets ripe, this bird
species will attack it with gusto.
BROWN THRASHER: a pair was active around the yard
SUMMER TANAGER: a female FOTS showed up at the bath about the same time as
the Gray Catbirds. Then it went to some trees & eventually got a bug.
WHITE-THROATED SPARROW: 1 with the bright white head-streaks & 1 with the
tan head-streaks were side-by-side for a nice contrast
Sincerely,
Sheila Willis

Subject: Lincoln's Sparrow @ Oxbow Meadows - 4/16
From: Walt Chambers <Walter.Frank.Chambers(AT)STUDENT.MERCER.EDU>
Date: 16 Apr 2008 9:01pm
Swung by the borrow pit pond at Oxbow Meadows for a few minutes this
afternoon. Not much in the way of waterbirds, but did pish up a Lincoln's
Sparrow at the corner of the pond just as you get on the berm when it perched
up in one of the small Chinese Tallow trees. This is the 3rd spring record
for this species at OM.
