Georgia wildlife

Our northern Georgia location brings many birds to our backyard including Eastern Bluebirds and the American Goldfinch. The bright, red zinnias are quite a draw for both the Goldfinches and also for the tiny, Ruby-throated hummingbirds. The finches pull out the petals searching for seeds while the hummingbirds poke their long, needlelike bills searching for nectar.

In the ravine behind the house, Red-Headed Woodpeckers scamper up and down the tall pines, boring holes to find a steady diet of insects.
