Michael I have found Greater-white Fronted Geese at a handful of locations.  The most reliable would be on the Chattahoochee River near Eufaula NWR where we've found them for the past twenty years or so.  We've also had them at Upson County, Clayton County, near the coast, Lake Seminole and other places.
 
These three were found by Michael Beohm on, I believe, December 28, 2005, at Bainbridge (southern Coastal Plain of GA).

Jessica Beohm and I had these Greater White-fronted Geese circle over us in Upson County on 04/15/07.  I watched them with my binos and Jessica took a few photos with a small camera without much of a zoom.
The birds flew out of sight to the west.  We saw them fly by again a couple miles away.
Pretty rare sighting for Georgia. 
Interestingly, I saw what looked liked six GWF Geese fly by in south Atlanta on 04/17/07.
