Where to see a Merlin in Georgia
The Merlin is regularly recorded in the counties of 10 Georgia state parks (eBird historical checklists). The strongest bets:
- Red Top Mountain State Park
- Crooked River State Park
- Altamaha Wildlife Management Area
- Jekyll Island State Park Authority
- Fort Mountain State Park
- Richmond Hill State Park
- Cloudland Canyon State Park
- Bainbridge State Park
- Kolomoki Mounds State Park
- Skidaway Island State Park
These are county-level records โ the species is documented in the area around each park, which is a strong steer rather than a guarantee for the park itself.
