A first Georgia record IVORY GULL, an adult, was found at West Point Lake
and Dam near West Point, Georgia, and in Troup County on the 25th. The
bird has been relocated and photographed, sometimes at quite close range,
daily since then. Currently there are at least 41 reports on Georgia

the bird.

After being discovered on 1/2, a 2nd Georgia record BUFF-BELLIED
HUMMINGBIRD, an AHY (After Hatching Year) female, was banded at a private
residence on St. Simons Island in Glynn County on 1/5. So far the hummer
has continued everyday at the site since the banding. Contact procedures
and location information are contained in the first two following GABO-L
posts. Please try to limit your calls to the homeowners to requesting
permission to visit and to scheduling your visit, using for directions the
information contained in the posts. Please attempt to carpool as much as
possible to minimize disruption for the homeowners. Also, it is requested
that flashes not be used when photographing the hummingbird.
