Birding contacts and birdwatching information
Local Birdingpal Contacts
|
Local Birdwatchers 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. | ||||||
