This is the first statewide distributional survey of Georgia's
breeding birds. This is a comprehensive historical record of all
free-ranging bird species known to be breeding in Georgia around
the beginning of the new millennium. The atlas profiles 182
species, from the sociable House Wren to the secretive Black Rail;
from the thriving Red-shouldered Hawk to the threatened Wilson's
Plover. The atlas is the result of a systematic survey conducted
from 1994 to 2001, the massive collaborative effort of several
private organizations, public agencies, and many individuals. It
offers a wealth of information critical to bird-conservation
efforts and provides a baseline so that changes to species ranges,
numbers, and other significant aspects of each species' status can
be better understood. Each species account includes: color
photograph of the bird; information on the bird's habitat and life
history, distribution, population trends, and conservation status;
details discussed including diet, nesting habits, life cycle of the
young, predators, and interactions with humans; color distribution
map showing the state's six ecoregions and indicating possible,
probable, and confirmed breeding; and, graphs showing population
trends. Also included in this title are chapters on the survey
methodology, results of the surveys, influence of the physical
environments of the state on bird distribution, changes in the
avifauna since European settlement, and bird conservation.
