Subject:      Migrants in Savannah's Forsyth Park
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

After reading Diana Churchill's post on April 29th concerning the great
birding in Forsyth Park, I decided to head there this morning for an
hour or so of birding. Unfortunately, today is when the annual Sidewalk
Arts Festival is held and the massive preparations were not very
conducive to quiet contemplative bird-watching. However, I still managed
to glass a few migrants though it was difficult to hear them:

Chimney Swifts - Tons
Black-throated Blue Warbler - 1 male
Yellow Warbler - 1 female
Common Yellow-throat - 1 male
Ovenbirds - 2 foraging around beneath the azaleas
Several Yellow-rumped Warblers

Then several that I could not hear and, of course, being warblers they
won't sit still and give a poor birder a break. But I think that there
was at least one female Cape May Warbler but I couldn't make an absolute
positive ID.
