These species breed in Elbert County but I sort of had the feeling these individuals were wandering. I have been in Lamar for the last 11 days but didn't do much birding because of the heat and potential for chiggers. Only species I would call a migrant that I saw down there was Rufous Hummingbird (1m, 1imm). Expected to at least see Olive-sided Fly, out of place pewees, maybe an empid or two, maybe Chipping Sparrow, but nothing. No Dickcissels, despite checking many hay fields north of town near Thurston Res. Orioles were milling about. Chimney Swifts and kites still over town. Yellow Warblers, cardinals and Warbling Vireo were trying feeble vocalizations at LCC (heard from the road, didn't go into the jungle). Did not check the lakes north of town as they are regularly inventoried these days.
