Bird List for Jekyll Island Dec. 31 2008 - Jan. 9, 2009
The south end beach of Jekyll Island is a major resting area for a wide variety of birds. They spend their time here resting as they prepare for their next feeding time. Many of these birds migrate for miles and miles.
Every time these resting birds are disturbed, or sent flying by unleashed dogs or by people coming close to them, they lose vital energy that is necessary if they are to find food.
If they don’t have the energy to find food, they die!!!
Please be aware of the needs of these birds.
Obey the leash law! ! ! !
Keep all dogs on a short leash.
Push bikes and/or walk slowly around these birds.
You will be rewarded for your efforts by knowing that
You are making a very important contribution toward the welfare of these wonderful creatures! ! ! ! !
Do your part to contribute to the life cycle of these beautiful birds ! ! !
Happy Birding ! ! ! ! and Thank You ! ! ! ! !
