Hello,
I make regular visits to Atlanta, Georgia, these days to visit my 86-year-old father. My next visit will likely be in late April or early May, dates as yet unconfirmed. As a California birder, one thing I miss is a clearly defined spring migration, particularly anything resembling "fallout." Consequently, I'd like to schedule my visit so that I might have the best chance of seeing a fair number of spring migrants. Last year I went to Kennesaw Mountain around the sixth of May and saw a large variety of warbler species but not that many birds, really. Should I simply repeat last year's trip, or is there a better time and place to possibly view a significant migration wave? I will be able to stay about five days. Thanks for any suggestions.
