Residents to pick two new wildlife license plates

ATLANTA - Georgians can go online and vote on the design of the next wildlife license plate. <br> <br> Beth Brown with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources says voters can pick from five new designs for the new tag and from four designs for the Bobwhite Quail Initiative. <br> <br> Officials hope to pick the design for the new tags in early January. <br> <br> They include: A bald eagle with an American flag behind it; a bald eagle sitting in a pine snag; a humming bird with Trumpet Creeper; a blue heron in a river with spider lilies; a loggerhead sea turtle. <br> <br> The current wildlife plates have raised more than $12,000 for non-game wildlife projects in Georgia. <br> <br> Both of the wildlife license plates will be on sale at county tag offices for a $15 fee. <br> <br> The fee funds a number of projects, including the purchase endangered species habitats, environmentally sensitive wetlands, aquatic ecosystems and longleaf pine/wire grass areas.
