Tweet, Tweet

It's not about Twitter but All About Birds (Cornell Lab of Ornithology). This is a website from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology that includes information about watching birds, learning their nesting behaviors, attracting birds, identifying them, recording observations, and getting involved in bird conservation. The site includes guides, images, maps, sounds, videos, and much more. There is also a link to the Macaulay Library, an archive of animal sounds and videos.

The nice thing about GALILEO is that it is a 'library' for online learning in Georgia. The librarians at GALILEO gather not only subscription databases but quality web sites that are of interest to Georgians.

To supplement the web site, All About Birds , Georgia Wildlife Resources Division provides lists of wildlife management areas in the 7 regions of Georgia that are perfect for bird watching.

With the moderate temperatures and the leaves beginning to thin a bit, who knows what you might see when you take a moment to just watch what is going on around you.
