COVID-19 Considerations: This year's in-person Georgia Bird Fest events will require additional precautions for the safety of our event leaders, participants, and the communities in which we are hosting these events. If you are unable or unwilling to adhere to these precautions, please do not register for an in-person Georgia Bird Fest event at this time.
  • Participants should only carpool with members of their own household or "quaranteam."

  • Participants will not share equipment, including binoculars and spotting scopes.
  • Participants will maintain six feet of separation from other participants not in their own household or "quaranteam."
