After work Wednesday, I stopped by Indian Springs State Park in Butts County (piedmont) for a couple hours. I walked the short trail by the creek on the east side of the park. The trail is narrow with lots of poison ivy and ticks and runs just over a quarter of a mile before looping back. It’s a small area but pound per pound one of the best migrant spots in Georgia that I’ve found. Highlights: 19 species of warblers
Swainson’s Warbler (7)
Canada Warbler (1)
Northern Parula (8)
Black-and-white Warbler (2)
Blackburnian Warbler (1)
Chestnut-sided Warbler (2)
Cape May Warbler (2)
Magnolia Warbler (1)
Yellow-rumped Warbler (3)
Prairie Warbler (1)
Bay-breasted Warbler (1)
Blackpoll Warbler (3)
Pine Warbler (2)
Kentucky Warbler (5)
Hooded Warbler (8)
Louisiana Waterthrush (2)
Common Yellowthroat (2)
Yellow-breasted Chat (3)
American Redstart (2)
Veery (1)
Yellow-billed Cuckoo (2)
Acadian Flycatcher (5)
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (5)
Scarlet Tanager (3)
Also, the SNOW GOOSE is still here in Griffin and the other SNOW GOOSE is still in northern Spalding County. For details and photos go to:

I haven't checked my yard to see if the LINCOLN'S SPARROW or the WILSON'S WARBLER decided to hang out. I did put photos of the Lincoln's Sparrow on my website (address above).
Also, I did a ten minute check of E. L. Huie yesterday (Thursday). There were a lot of shorebirds but nothing that hasn't already been reported except a female NORTHERN PINTAIL. In my rush I may have overlooked some stuff though.
Good birding!
