Georgia birds

I went to Georgia over the weekend to visit family and was on the lookout for new birds. I thought I had found 5 new birds (new to me), but it turns out that 2 of the ones I thought were new were actually American Robins. Apparently they have many different looks right now. But I did see 3 birds that I've never seen before, and that was only from sitting on my sister's deck for 15 minutes Saturday morning. I wish I had had more time and more privacy to really sit and watch. I saw an Eastern Bluebird, a Brown-headed Cowbird, and a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (that I thought was a red-naped sapsucker, but my forum corrected me). So much fun!! Here are some pics.

And these last 2 are both American Robins, according to what bird.




I had a great weekend!

Happy Birding!
