Compare that to 328 species I had for 2006 and 343 species found in GA for 2002.

 

The few times times I went out this year produced some really good sightings, though.  Just in the last month, three outings produced White Ibis in the piedmont in winter, good ducks, Lapland Longspurs, Red-necked Grebe, Ground-doves in piedmont in several different locations, and what appeared to be a Spotted Towhee (though I would like to look into the this complex more before or if I go further with the id).

 

Most of the birds I found beside my house while I was working in the yard or driving to and fro.  I enjoyed seeing a couple Swallow-tailed Kites near my house as well as Dickcissel, Lincoln, and Lark Sparrow, and much, much more.

 

Good Birding!
