Birds are cool Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 A few very experienced birders just found a Hammond's Flycatcher in Georgia. I would go see it, since it is only about a three hour drive, but it is behind three gates on Sea Island. Restricted Access. ???? This is Georgia's 424 bird ever. https://ebird.org/checklist/S120099857 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't drive there in that time there had better already have a reason to be going in that direction. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Only a three hour drive is because twice a year, me and my family drive up to NY and back to visit relatives. 18 hours one way. I usually plan 2 or 3 hour trips a week before, and take many 30 min trips, but if this flycatcher will fly off of sea island onto public land, I will go see it.

On any given day, mine is 20 minutes. Two or three times a week, I can get anywhere in the county, but my county is really small compared to the surrounding counties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the next time you are planning to go to NY, you could message me as I am familiar with some of the areas there. I would love to help another young birder.
