There are 47 species of snakes native to the state of Georgia. Only seven of these reptiles are poisonous. If you would like to learn how to identify them, a great place to start is to go online and Google the Georgia DNR’s Venomous Snakes of Georgia. When you download the brochure, you will find there is also a Quick Guide to Georgia’s Non-venonmous Snakes.
For additional information on Georgia’s snakes, contact the Georgia state herpetologist Daniel Sollenberger. Daniel can be reached by phone at 478-994-1438 or email Daniel.sollenberger@dnr.ga.gov

We saw an osprey in middle north Alabama two days ago. They are in Guntersville, and apparently coming here to hunt in our large lake. Thanks for all your info!
