BACKYARD BIRDS OF GEORGIA (plus Ducks, Geese, Shorebirds, and Seabirds) (Wildlife of North America and other educational books.) Hardcover – February 9, 2025

Georgia contains around 430 species of birds. Some of them are with us year-round, and some visit us at certain times of the year. We won’t try to cover them all, but we will look at some of the more familiar and interesting species. This book will cover most backyard birds seen in your yards, trees, bushes, at your feeders, and more. There are also sections on ducks, geese, shorebirds, and seabirds. In this book, you will find great color pictures, detailed descriptions, information on sounds, diet, season you will see them, and more. I hope you will use this to identify the birds you see and enjoy those birds even more. The first section of this book covers backyard birds, which are birds associated primarily with the land. A quick reference guide has been added. This guide arranges the birds by color, size, and type. Other birds live in close proximity to the water, and this water could be fresh or salt. The birds that are closely associated with water are found in the following sections. These water birds have been separated into three groups: (1) ducks, (2) geese, and lastly, (3) shorebirds and seabirds are grouped. Ducks (Group 1, page 222) have their own section, and so do geese (Group 2, page 232). Our third group (Group 3, page 233) of birds are the shorebirds and seabirds. These birds are much more associated with salt water, so they are separated into their own group. Read more
