While bird watching may seem as exciting to you as watching paint dry, it can actually be a very thrilling past time to adopt on your recreational property.

Now is a perfect time to do a little research on bird watching in Georgia. The fall migration season is just getting started.

Bob Zaremba, a birder in Georgia says, "The fall migration season begins in July with the arrival of the first migrants around the 4th of the month. The first arrivals are usually black-and-white warbler, Northern parula and black-throated green warbler. The migration slowly builds over the next few weeks as cerulean and worm-eating warblers begin to pass through. By the end of the first week of August, prairie and hooded warblers are making an appearance. The migration picks up in late August and into September peaking towards the middle of the month."

Non-migratory birds can also be found year-round in the state. Birds that do not migrate are called resident birds. In Georgia, our year-round resident American goldfinch waits until around this time to breed. Apparently there is a relationship between the flowering of thistles and the start of nest building.

Are you wondering, "Where can I find sites about bird watching in Georgia?"

There are many fantastic resources online that point to what Georgia land is best for birding. You can use these sites to bird watch on your own, or sign up for a bird walk.
