JEKYLL ISLAND CONSERVATION PLAN FLORAL & FAUNAL LISTS
INTRODUCTION This section of the plan contains lists of plants, selected invertebrate, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, mammal species that may be associated with Jekyll Island. For some taxonomic groups, specifically the invertebrates, fish, birds, and marine mammals, the area includes Jekyll Island and the nearshore waters, while for the other groups the list is pretty much a list of species that may actually occur on the island. For most of the lists, the species are labeled as verified to occur on the island, probably occur on the island (but not verified), or could occur on the island. Verification in this instance was through simple observation by one of the team member or other reliable person with a background in the species being considered, available field notes, literature review, or historically collected specimen. Released animals from the Jekyll Island Club and plantation eras that are not extant today, but have historic records are also noted in some of the lists.

PLANTS This list of vascular plants occurring in the undeveloped portions of Jekyll Island was compiled from literature reviews, limited herbarium records, and visits to the island. The roughly 845 species on this list have either been verified (V) to occur on the island, probably (P) occur on the island and can be verified with additional field work, or could (C) occur on the island. This list does not include many of the cultivated plants that occur in the developed portions of the island.

BIRDS There are 346 species of birds that have been verified (V) to occur on the island, probably (P) occur on the island and can be verified with additional field work, could (C) occur on the island, or have been extirpated (X) from the island. These birds are also ranked by relative abundance in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. These seasons have been delineated by bird behavior rather than celestial position, so each season corresponds roughly with the following months in year’s with “normal” migration and behavior patterns:
SEASON MONTHS Spring March through May Summer May through July Fall July through November Winter November through February
Relative abundance within a season is coded from common to accidental. If all of the seasons are blank, this indicates that the bird has been observed on the H-8 DRAFT 13 June 2007
Georgia Coast, but not near Jekyll Island; however, sightings are theoretically possible, so the bird is listed. Abundance codes are as follows:
Code Abundance Definition C Common Generally found in right season & appropriate habitat U Uncommon Found some of time in right season & appropriate habitat R Rare Not found every year, but found more than once or twice A Accidental Found only once or twice, but worth looking for X Extirpated No longer found on Jekyll Island
