Yesterday evening the first Georgia record IVORY GULL, an adult, first 
found at West Point Lake near West Point (Troup County), Georgia on the 
25th, the southernmost IVORY GULL on record, and seen, enjoyed, and 
photographed by many this week, passed away from injuries probably 
inflicted by a large predator.  Please check Georgia Birders Online
(http://listserv.uga.edu/archives/gabo-l.html) for more posted details 
conerning the gull.

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.  The hummingbird 
had been seen daily since the banding, but has now not been seen for a 
couple of days.

A VIRGINIA'S WARBLER, Georgia's 2nd, continues daily at a private
residence in Valdosta, in Lowndes County.  First seen on the 15th, and
seen daily since, this warbler is most reliably showing up at first light
each morning for a brief period to visit a hummingbird feeder.  The
homeowner is welcoming folks to try for the bird, contact information is
in the second post following.
