Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This may represent a new 'late date' for this species in Georgia (perhaps the region?). The previous day (28 Dec), at this same location, I located a Southern Dogface and was able to get only a long-distance photo. Today I suspect I re-located the same Southern Dogface and have included a couple of photos. I reported this to NABA in this Sightings Report of 29 Dec 2021: https://sightings.naba.org/sightings/20776 I also photographed and reported an (probably the same) individual to NABA in this Sightings Report of 28 Dec 2021 (previous day): https://sightings.naba.org/sightings/20772 1345-1445, 76F, Wind SW 12-21MPH, Cloud Cover 73-79%, The light kept changing quickly and dramatically, Light Rain at the end, Large field next to swamp, Upper coastal plain. 31.47035511262636, -84.37643697626415
