Georgia had 28 counts this year, with an average state total of 217 accepted species (last ten years have averaged 216). Birders again put forth great effort, as the 570 participants drove 5803 miles in vehicles, rode 176 miles by boat, and walked 628 miles. Participants also ATV’d 15 miles and golf carted another 28. Last, and probably the most fun, was paddling 12 miles. Weather was good for most counts, with several counts reporting light rain for part or much of the day. The only counts losing large portions of the day to heavy rain were Carter’s Lake (CL) and Macon (MA). Georgia again benefited from the inclusion of two new counts begun last year, both in the metro Atlanta area: Intown Atlanta (GAIA) and Roswell (GARO). Many urban bird species thus enjoyed very high totals, since both of these counts are well staffed by enthusiastic compilers. When reporting new high totals, where I feel these two counts made much of the difference with previous totals I will include the...
