State of Georgia

Georgia is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States. It borders Tennessee to the northwest, North Carolina to the north, South Carolina to the northeast, Florida to the south, and Alabama to the west. Of the 50 United States, Georgia is the 24th-largest by area covering 95,000 km2 (59,000 square miles). It is the 8th most populous with a population of about 11 million people, over six million of whom live in Atlanta, which is both the state capital and its largest city. The Atlanta metropolitan area is the 6th most populous metropolitan area in the United States and contains about 57% of Georgia’s entire population. Other major metropolitan areas in the state include Augusta, Savannah, Columbus, and Macon. Georgia has 160 km (100 miles) of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean.

Georgia consists of five principal physiographic regions: The Cumberland Plateau, Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, Blue Ridge Mountains, Piedmont, and the Atlantic coastal plain.

It has approximately 250 tree species and 58 protected plants. Georgia’s native trees include red cedar, a variety of pines, oaks, hollies, cypress, sweetgum, scaly-bark and white hickories, and sabal palmetto. East Georgia is in the subtropical coniferous forest biome and conifer species as other broadleaf evergreen flora make up the majority of the southern and coastal regions. Yellow jasmine and mountain laurel make up just a few of the flowering shrubs in the state.

White-tailed deer are found in nearly all counties of Georgia. The northern mockingbird and brown thrasher are among the 160 bird species that live in the state. Reptiles include the eastern diamondback, copperhead, and cottonmouth snakes as well as alligators; amphibians include salamanders, frogs and toads. There are about 79 species of reptile and 63 amphibians known to live in Georgia. The Argentine black and white tegu is currently an invasive species in Georgia. It poses a problem to local wildlife by chasing down and killing many native species and dominating habitats.

The majority of the state is primarily a humid subtropical climate. Hot and humid summers are typical, except at the highest elevations. The entire state, including the North Georgia mountains, receives moderate to heavy precipitation, which varies from 45 inches in central Georgia to approximately 75 inches around the northeast part of the state. The degree to which the weather of a certain region of Georgia is subtropical depends on the latitude, its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, and the elevation. The latter factor is felt chiefly in the mountainous areas of the northern part of the state, which are farther away from the ocean and can be 1,400 m above sea level. Georgia often is affected by hurricanes that strike the Florida Panhandle, weaken over land, and bring strong tropical storm winds and heavy rain to the interior. The highest temperature ever recorded was 44 °C in Louisville, and the lowest is -27 °C in northern Floyd County.

Birding Georgia

Historically under-populated in the rural areas, especially in the coastal plain, it is now the 6th fastest growing state in the country; that is a mixed blessing for birding, but no doubt a net negative for bird habitat. Physio-graphically, Georgia ranges from the highlands of the southern Appalachians, including Blue Ridge, Ridge-and-Valley, and Cumberland Plateau provinces, to the rolling red-clay terrain of the Piedmont, to the Coastal Plain: the flat, mostly sandy terrain below the Fall Line (aka gnat line aka Spanish moss line). Roughly half the state’s area lies in the latter province, a still sparsely populated area, much of which is devoted to industrial pine plantations, having replaced the vast open understory longleaf pine forests of centuries gone by. But cypress and black-gum swamps and bay-swamp forests still hold dominion over many Carolina bays and river bottoms.

Although Georgia’s Atlantic coastline, at about 100 miles, is a fraction the length of its southern neighbour, and smaller than most of its northern neighbours’, fully 9 of 13 major barrier islands are preserved in an undeveloped state, giving Georgia the highest percentage of deserted beachfront of any east-coast state. This is good news for nesting and wintering shorebirds, gulls and the like, and it means that the potential for rare coastal bird species is high; on the other hand, these locales are birded only a tiny fraction the amount that Florida’s coastline is birded. Georgia’s coast lies farther west and farther from the continental shelf and the Gulf Stream current than any other spot on the Atlantic Coast of the US. This means that pelagic species are harder to come by than in, say, North Carolina. It also gives Georgia fully one-third of the acreage of tidal salt marshes on the entire Atlantic Coast – lots of habitat for nesting Seaside Sparrows, Marsh Wrens and Clapper Rails and lots of wintering habitat for both species of Sharp-tailed Sparrows and other species of rails.

Although there are no Georgia specialty birds, the state is one of the top several states in which to see individuals or colonies of several south-eastern specialties, including Anhinga, Purple Gallinule, Roseate Spoonbill, Reddish Egret, Tri-coloured Heron, Wood Stork, Glossy Ibis, Swallow-tailed Kite, Red-cockaded Woodpecker, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Swainson’s Warbler, Bachman’s Sparrow, and Boat-tailed Grackle. Limpkins have been observed repeatedly on south-central Georgia’s Little River and at several other localities in the coastal plain. Small islands on the Georgia coast provide important nesting habitat for such rare species as Gull-billed Tern, Least Tern, Piping and Wilson’s Plovers, and American Oystercatchers, and also Black Skimmers and Brown Pelicans.

Georgia is just far north enough (and with elevations up to 4,700 feet) to have many breeding species of warblers (24 total) and also such boreal species as Ruffed Grouse, Red Crossbill and Northern Saw-Whet Owl. It is far south enough to have important wintering populations of such species as Black-crowned and Yellow-crowned Night-Herons, Tree Swallow, White-eyed Vireo, Henslow’s Sparrow and Baltimore Oriole. The Greater race of the Sandhill Crane has important wintering habitat at Grand Bay near Valdosta and in the Okefenokee Swamp; both of these sites also have small breeding populations of the non-migratory Florida Sandhill Crane. Winter birding is particularly exciting along the coast, where 2 or 3 Christmas Bird Count circles frequently record 140 species or more in a day.

Our knowledge of the occasional wintering range of several species of western hummingbirds has grown exponentially. Only the Rufous and Black-chinned Hummingbirds were known to winter in small numbers in Georgia before. But since many birders have been keeping their feeders filled throughout the winter, nine more species have been documented in the state — namely, Magnificent, Allen’s, Anna’s, Calliope, Broad-tailed, Broad-billed, Buff-bellied, Green Violet-ear and Green-breasted Mango. And increasingly, Georgians are finding wintering Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at their feeders as well. Other than hummingbirds, recent spectacular first state records have included Yellow-billed Loon, Ivory Gull, Red-faced Warbler, and Scott’s Oriole.

At least 180 species have been documented to breed in Georgia, according to the Georgia Breeding Bird Atlas project, and more than 100 additional species winter in the state or migrate through it or at least visit it on an annual basis. There is no 400 Club in Georgia – yet. That is, no one person has seen 400 species in our state, as is the case for several other states (three states even have a 500 Club); but the 413 species that have been documented in Georgia by the Georgia Ornithological Society’s Records Committee is a number that is likely to continue to climb; we are still an under-birded state compared to such states as Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. There are many who have seen well over 300 species and several who have seen that many in a single year. On the subject of listing, Georgia ought to be some sort of mecca for county listers, because it has more counties (159) than any other eastern state!

    The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1937 as a "refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife". The Okefenokee is like no other place on earth, where natural beauty and wilderness prevail. The vision for Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is to protect and enhance wildlife and its habitat, ensure integrity of the ecological system, and embrace the grandeur, mystery, and cultural heritage that lead to an enrichment of the human spirit. The vast open prairies within the Okefenokee Swamp are home to a variety of wading birds such as egrets, herons, ibises, wood storks, and the sandhill crane. The sandhill crane is a tall, gray bird with a characteristic red crown. They nest March-April in solitary pairs, hiding their nest among the tall grasses and shrubs. They eat frogs, insects, small rodents, as well as vegetation. Listen for the distinctive bugle-like call.
  • NWR Piedmont

    The Refuge is located primarily in Jones County in the Piedmont Physiographic Province of central Georgia. It is predominately forested (96%) with ~3/4 of the area in pine and pine-hardwood forest on the ridges, and ~1/4 hardwood forest along creeks and in scattered upland coves. Loblolly is the dominant pine species, with some shortleaf pine mixed in. Hardwood species include oaks and hickories in the overstory, and sweetgum and dogwood in the mid- and understories. Creeks and ponds are scattered across the Refuge. It contains a large area of mature loblolly pine forest inhabited by the endangered Red-cockaded Woodpecker (RCW) and the rare Bachman??s Sparrow. Currently, over half the Refuge??s acreage is managed for RCWs, and this also benefits Bachman??s Sparrow.

    The bald cypress and tupelo trees created a dense canopy above the wet forest floor. A Barred Owl vocalized at a distance, and Black-and-white Warblers, Downy Woodpeckers, and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers moved amongst the Spanish moss. This would be a fitting introduction to birding in the Southern woods. The pond and trees behind our airport hotel were discovered to be a haven for roosting herons and egrets. Anhinga and Common Gallinule were found along the shore. The group quickly became acquainted at dinner, and all were anxious to begin our week of Georgia coastal birding!
