Welcome to the 2026 John L. Borom Alabama Coastal BirdFest, celebrating the extraordinary birdlife of the Alabama Coast. Now in its twenty-third year and proudly hosted by Alabama Audubon, BirdFest brings together birders, families, and nature lovers to experience peak spring migration while inspiring the protection of the region’s unique habitats. We are excited to offer a mix of fan favorites from the past as well as new trips!
