	Travel: Where vultures are a tourist attraction
		Every winter, thousands of the birds swoop down on a state park in Georgia to perch in its trees or roost by its lake, and curious humans soon follow.
		The best times to see the birds are shortly after the park opens at 7 a.m., while the vultures are lounging in the trees and on the banks of the lake, or about an hour before sunset, when they return to roost, Williams said.
		Reed Bingham has two of the three vulture species found in the United States: turkey and fl.

		This bridge, which connects the Cook County side of Reed Bingham State Park with the Colquitt County side, was completed in 1974 and was dedicated on July 13, 1974 by Governor Jimmy Carter.
		Serving as an outstanding state park facility for South Georgia since 1958, this park located on Little River was separated by the river and needed a bridge to connect the two heavily used areas of the park and facilitate public usage.
		Many improvements to Reed Bingham State Park were made possible through the interest of then Governor Jimmy Carter who worked closely with the Georgia Department of Transportation and local officials to complete this important link between the two sides of the park.
