Birdwatching in Georgia

Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		Birding in my location: I am the webmaster of www.wingsoverga.com , a website which is all about birding in the state of Georgia. It has locations organized alphabetically, by region, and by county. In my area (near the large city of Atlanta, Georgia) there are several wonderful birding locations which are particularly productive during migration in spring and fall. These include Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Cochran Shoals Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Henderson Park, and more. In colder months, E.L. Huie Land Application Facility and the Newman Wetlands Nature Center just south of Atlanta host a good diversity of waterfowl and other wintering birds.

		I'm a bird bander and am happy to have folks visit us. It's a great opportunity to see some species up close. On occasion we catch species that even we are excited about. Most of my work is in grasslands, so many of the species I catch are very secretive and hard to see otherwise.

		I am a retired Episcopal priest, a habitat steward, and a Master Gardner. I live in a rural area and there are state parks around. There is a raptor center at Ga Southern Univ which is only 25 miles away. I would like to go or take anyone around as I have a lot to learn in this area.
