Of water fowl, in winter there are great abundance;besides the common English wild goose, duck,mallard,and teal, there is a kind of wild goose like the brand geese,and ducks of many kinds hardly known in Europe. There is a hooping crane, a fowl with great feathers,five or six feet high, numbers of the heron kind of different species and colors,some small ones of the most beautiful white,which are called poor Jobs,from their being generally very lean. Of birds of prey,there are the land and sea eagle,with different kinds of hawks;there are also numbers of pelicans and cormorants. - Frances Moore, Voyage to Georgia - Fort Frederica Bird Species Checklist ![]() pininterest ![]() NPS Files ![]() NPS Files ![]() NPS Files |
