Hi GA birders,

Bill O'Grady, Karla O'Grady, Richard Hall, James Neves and I walked Cook's Trail from Sandy Creek Park to Sandy Creek Nature Center this morning. Magnolia Warblers were thick, and it continues to be a great year for both Philadelphia Vireos and Gray-cheeked Thrushes. Some of our highlights were:

Common Nighthawk 2 (late-ish flyovers at campground parking) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 7 (lots of juveniles) Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) 16 (always in earshot) Eastern Wood-Pewee 4 Empidonax sp. 1 (in canopy, probably Acadian) White-eyed Vireo 2 Yellow-throated Vireo 1 PHILADELPHIA VIREO 2 (one dull, another pretty yellow) Red-eyed Vireo 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 3 Gray-cheeked Thrush 3 Swainson's Thrush 5 Wood Thrush 9 Gray Catbird 18 Brown Thrasher 27 Scarlet Tanager 4 WHITE-THROATED SPARROW 2 (FOTS here in Athens) Rose-breasted Grosbeak 2

Warblers: Tennessee Warbler 2 Northern Parula 1 Chestnut-sided Warbler 6 Magnolia Warbler 35 Pine Warbler 4 Bay-breasted Warbler 2 Black-and-white Warbler 2 American Redstart 6 Common Yellowthroat 3 Hooded Warbler 2

Good birding,

Joel McNeal Winterville (Athens-Clarke Co.), GA
