Animal of Interest
Although most certainly not a native species of North Georgia, I have always found the Albatross a fascinating animal. Living its entire life at sea and only touching down from time to time to breed, the Albatross lives in high latitudes where the winds are strong enough to allow the great bird to glide around the globe. However. the Albatross is encountering choppy seas. Plastic debris fields occasionally attract the eyes of the bird. Once ingested the plastics do not digest, an accumulation of garbage eventually leads to death. Some of that plastic, no doubt, is endemic of Georgia.
