  • Download Our Suggested Colonial Coast Birding Itinerary
    Colonial Coast Birding Itinerary Looking for the best birding locations along the Georgia Coast? Colonial Coast Birding Trail Georgia's vast network of rivers, marshes, and barrier islands provides ideal habitat for hundreds of species of birds, from nesting wood storks to painted buntings. This "trail" is a string of numerous sites along the Georgia coast straddling U.S. 17 and Interstate 95. Four of the sites (Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, Jekyll Island, Cumberland Island, and the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge) have been designated Important Birding Areas (IBAs) by the Georgia Audubon Society. With more than 330 species of birds to watch for, the staffs of visitor centers along the way have maps and plenty of bird- watching suggestions for both skilled and novice birders. Each site along the Colonial Coast Birding Trail is unique. Many sites offer visitors the opportunity to watch birds and visit 18th and 19th Century historic places. Other sites are located on lands and waters that were once part of early plantations dedicated to growing rice, indigo and cotton. So whether you want to see a bald eagle soaring over a coastal river, an endangered wood stork feeding its gawky young, sanderlings chasing the waves on a sandy beach, or a great egret standing motionless in a placid pond, the Colonial Coast Birding Trail has something for you. North to South Tybee Island - North Beach Description: Tybee Island is the northernmost barrier island on the Georgia coast. This popular vacation destination offers great birding opportunities. One of the best birding spots is located along the beach at the north end of the island.

  • 1 Appendix 1C: the Status Of
    APPENDIX 1C: THE STATUS OF SANDY, OCEANFRONT BEACH HABITAT IN THE COASTAL MIGRATION AND WINTERING RANGE OF THE PIPING PLOVER (Charadrius melodus)1 Tracy Monegan Rice Terwilliger Consulting, Inc. May 2012 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS’s) 5-Year Review for the piping plover (Charadrius melodus) recommends developing a state-by-state atlas for wintering and migration habitat for the overlapping coastal migration and wintering ranges of the federally listed (endangered) Great Lakes, (threatened) Atlantic Coast and Northern Great Plains piping plover populations (USFWS 2009). The atlas should include data on the abundance, distribution and condition of currently existing habitat. This assessment addresses this recommendation by providing this data for one habitat type – sandy, oceanfront beaches within the migration and wintering range of the southeastern continental United States (U.S.). Sandy beaches are a valuable habitat for piping plovers, other shorebirds and waterbirds for foraging, loafing, and roosting. METHODS In order to evaluate the status of sandy, oceanfront beaches along the coastlines of North Carolina (NC), South Carolina (SC), Georgia (GA), Florida (FL), Alabama (AL), Mississippi (MS), Louisiana (LA) and Texas (TX), several methods were used. Non-sandy oceanfront areas were excluded since they do not currently provide this habitat; these areas occur along marshy sections of coast in Louisiana, the Big Bend Marsh coast of northwest Florida, the Ten Thousand Island Mangrove coast of southwest Florida, and the Florida Keys. The status of sandy, oceanfront beaches were evaluated through an estimation of the length and proportions of shoreline that were developed, undeveloped, preserved, armored and receiving beach fill or dredge spoil placement.
