The Oriole,
a biannual journal of Georgia ornithology, is generally published in
April and October. The 75th volume was printed in 2010. Society members
in good standing automatically receive a subscription to
The Oriole.
Ms. Cathy Ricketts: First published in 1936, The Oriole includes original articles that advance the study of birds in the state of Georgia and adjoining regions. The Oriole welcomes submission of articles describing the occurrence, distribution, behavior, or identification of birds in Georgia, as well as scientific studies from all fields of ornithology. Also included are species accounts of birds observed within the state and From the Field, a regular feature highlighting interesting species observations from a particular season. Back issues of The Oriole may be obtained by writing to:

Fruits make up a significant part of the diet of many bird species. In this GOS publication, biologists Jim Ferrari and Jerry Payne document the use of fruit by Georgia birds and explore the ecological connections between birds and fruit-bearing plants. A major portion of the book lists the kinds of fruits eaten by Georgia birds (organized by bird species and also by plant species), based on a literature review as well as hundreds of original observations by the authors. The book also delves into the questions of invasive plants, the seasonality of fruit production and bird migration, recommendations for homeowners, and geographical patterns of fruit-eating birds across Georgia. With its wealth of new data and ideas, this publication will be appreciated by scientists and non-specialists alike and is relevant to readers far beyond the boundaries of the state. The book is 88 pages, 6 x 9 inches.

The
GOShawk contains more timely information such as project updates, meeting announcements,
notes and itineraries, and recent field observations. The GOShawk is also published
quarterly and is delivered to all Georgia Ornithological Society Members in good standing.
Birders take note: your sighting records for a
single county can provide important information to ornithologists and other
birders. It’s worth the effort to keep them, organize them, and put them
between covers! Just ask Michael. His intensive surveys on behalf of
Georgia’s Breeding Bird Atlas project in 1999 led to the writing of this
fine book, which details breeding or probable breeding records for 94
species in Haralson County.
Kennesaw Mountain is one of the premiere magnets
for birders during migration. Giff Beaton's latest book covers 12 years of
almost daily migration birding at this highly important stopover site for
migrants in Georgia. This reference, written by one of the state’s top
birders, belongs on your shelf!
Birds of Laurens
County is authored by long time GOS member and former president, Tommy
Patterson. Tommy became an active birder
somewhat later than many when he began to accompany his son Hunter over
thirty years ago. After joining GOS in 1974 Tommy was encouraged and
inspired by Dr. J. Fred Denton to keep records of his sightings in
Dublin and nearby areas. What resulted is best described by the
following quote from the book’s Foreword by Giff Beaton. “He sought out
and identified some good areas of diverse habitat, created an
interesting route to follow, and then proceeded to bird this area at
least twice a week for almost 30 years! He not only ran the route but
kept impeccable records.” His book conveys in a very readable manner
data describing birdlife in this Middle Georgia area.
This
fifth edition of the "ACOGB" was painstakingly and thoroughly researched by the Checklist and Records Committee incorporating information in the species accounts from many sources including the Breeding Bird Atlas project, Christmas Bird and Breeding Bird Census, The Oriole (67 years) and the records of the Checklist Committee itself. Virtually every species is now tied to a museum specimen, photo or other definitive record.
This index contains all references made to Georgia birdlife in Audubon
Field Notes and American Birds from 1947 - 1983. Each species is listed
in taxonomic order (AOU 6th edition) and contains volume and page numbers for quick access
to information in those publications. The volume and page entries are characterized
as "absent" if the reference indicated as such. 376 species are
listed. Even the "Changing Seasons" column was scrubbed for information
concerning Georgia birds. Considering that Audubon Field Notes and American
Birds were not (and still are not) available in electronic format, an enormous amount
of effort must have gone into gathering this information.
This annotated
checklist, current through 31 May 1998, covered the area of the state centered around the
City of Macon and Bibb County, including the eight surrounding counties. The
Annotated Checklist of Birds of Middle Georgia was formerly available through the
Ocmulgee Audubon Society (the publishers) but is currently out of print.
The most up-to-date guide
available for birding in Georgia. Birding
Georgia is published by Falcon Publishing, and is available through
the GOS. The guide contains descriptions of over 100 locations, and includes maps
and directions, what to look for, and how to bird each location. It also contains a section on where to find the more uncommon species in
the state. Bar graphs representing species distribution and seasonal
occurrence in the four major areas of the state are
included. This book is no longer available through the GOS.
