You can see these birds in Georgia now.

We are in October and these bird species are been reported in our State.  You can see them too...if you haven't already.

Black-bellied Whistling-duck in Dougherty County. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=31.51263,-84.2185307&ll=31.51263,-84.2185307

A Tricolor Heron has also been reported in Dougherty County in the same area, Lily Pond Road. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=31.51263,-84.2185307&ll=31.51263,-84.2185307

While you are in the area, you can also see the Monk Parakeets if you haven't seen them yet.

Fall Migratory Warblers are still been reported in Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park

and Cochran Shoals Unit (CRNRA) http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=33.9118818,-84.4485999&ll=33.9118818,-84.4485999 both in Cobb County. They are also in the Athens and Macon areas.

You should be able to see Philadelphia Vireos in either spots (Kennesaw Battlefield and Cochran Shoals).  Warbling Vireos, Least and Yellow-bellied Flycatchers have been reported in Henderson Park in Dekalb County http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=33.8679569,-84.2283797&ll=33.8679569,-84.2283797.  Yellow-bellied and Least Flycatchers have been reported at the Ocmulgee NM as well.

Gray-cheeked Thrush are showing up in multiple places in Georgia, including Bibb County.  Keep an eye out for them.  

The coastal areas have their own gems.  Long-billed Curlew and Franklin's Gull in Glynn County and Pomarine Jaeger in Liberty County.  

The birds are out and going through our State for Fall Migration.
Happy birding!
