Birdwatching in Georgia Birding contacts and birdwatching information Local Birdingpal Contacts Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

A perennial neotropical migrant magnet, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, is only 30 minutes outside the city in the northwest suburb of Marietta. Just south of the city, E.L. Huie Land Application Facility and the nearby Newman Wetlands Center offer great migratory birding, too - as well as reservoirs for wintering waterfowl. Other birding hotspots in the Atlanta Metro area include the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Areas, Arabia Mountain Park, Henderson Park, and Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve.
