Georgia's first city – the belle on the Georgian coast – is situated at the mouth of the Savannah River, which forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina. Savannah enjoys a semi-tropical climate: summers are hot and winters mild. The coast of Georgia offers many fascinating places to bird, including in the field bird watching around Savannah in winter, fall, spring and summer, plus other resources identified through the Ogeechee Audubon Society.
During the winter months, thousands of ducks fill the impoundments, including the rarely-seen cinnamon teal, Eurasian widgeon, and fulvous whistling ducks. With many types of habitat, such as marshlands, live-oak maritime forests, and longleaf pine flatwoods, our area of the state is rich in diversity of not only bird life, but also other kinds of wildlife, and history. These and many more sites are part of Georgia's Coastal Georgia Birding Trail.
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge's 26,295 acres include freshwater marshes, tidal rivers and creeks, bottomland hardwoods, and old rice fields of plantations dating back to the mid- and late-1700s. Many of the dikes enclosing these pools were originally built by slaves and itinerant Irishmen. All dikes are open to foot travel during daylight hours unless otherwise posted and provide excellent wildlife observation points. During December / Christmas-timeframe each year, a bird watching travelers and local bird lovers take part in the annual holiday bird count at the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge.
Other Savannah Georgia birding locations include The Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, Fort Pulaski National Monument, Tybee Island, Georgia, Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge, Savannah and Ogeechee Canal, Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, and Melon Bluff Nature Preserve. The Savannah Coastal Refuse spans a 100 mile stretch of coastline and total over 54,019 acres -- Blackbeard Island, Harris Neck, Pinckney Island near Hilton Head SC, Savannah, Tybee Island, Wassaw Island, and Wolf Island near Darien GA.
