Henslow's Sparrow - This particular individual was found in a wet powerline right-of-way in McIntosh Co., GA, at the end of January. Henslow's Sparrows winter in small numbers along the Georgia coastal plain, but they are always difficult to find due to their secretive, skulking habits. This species may also be found in a powerline right-of -way in Paulk's Pasture Wildlife Management Area near Brunswick in Glynn Co. (Photo by James F. Flynn, Jr. - 26 January 1997 - McIntosh Co., GA) |

Common Eider - An unprecedented summer record, and one of the very few records for Georgia; first reported to the RBA on 26 July, this bird was originally discovered by Georgia DNR workers on Sapelo I. in early July and remained in the area until mid-October. (Photo courtesy of Bruce Hallett - 2 Aug 1997 - Sapelo Island, GA) |

Ross's Goose - A pleasant surprise which appeared on an Atlanta Audubon Society Field Trip to the E. L. Huie Land Application Facility near Jonesboro in Clayton Co., GA, on 19 January 1997. As with the rest of the East Coast, Ross's Goose sightings have been on the increase in Georgia in recent years. This one, however, was only present for a couple of days before it departed.
