The reservoir will have cormorants, often a bald eagle, and hopefully some ducks. The open areas should have sparrows, meadowlark, and perhaps a loggerhead shrike or two.

Join us to look for fall migrants along the greenway beside the Cahaba River in Trussville. We can expect to see species such as wrens, kinglets, woodpeckers, and chickadees. We will be watching along the water for Great Blue and Green herons and possible kingfishers. Scanning the skies we’ll look for hawks, vultures, and maybe even a passing Bald Eagle.
Daniel Redwine resides in Nashville, TN and is currently a graduate teaching assistant at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. Daniel is studying the feeding behavior and ecology of wintering White-throated Sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis) in Tennessee and plans on defending his thesis in 2025. He is rapidly rising to be among the most knowledgeable resources for locating some of the more difficult winter species such as Nelson’s, Leconte’s, Henslow’s, and Grasshopper Sparrows in the southeastern birding community.
Come celebrate and learn about the plovers of the Alabama coast at our first annual Okploverfest!

Senior Coastal Biologist Olivia Morpeth and Coastal Biologist Shannel Dock will host a Big Sit on Bayfront Park’s pier and lead a roostwatch at sunset at this quaint and accessible park in Daphne. The Mobile Bay is one of the richest ecosystems in the world, and many coastal birds seek shelter in the bottomlands and marshes tucked in away from the coast. Come watch sunset and celebrate Birdability Week with us at Bayfront Park!
Late October is a great time to search wetlands and open water as ducks and waterbirds pass south through our area. Many of the transient songbirds will have passed through but some of our winter warblers like Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped Warblers love this area in winter.

This is a great opportunity to explore rare and declining Longleaf Pine savannahs that used to dominate Alabama’s landscape thousands of years ago. These unique grasslands are some of the most biodiverse worldwide and host unique plant and animal life found nowhere else on the planet. Some target birds will be Red Crossbills, Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, and departing migratory songbirds like Gray-cheeked Thrush and Bay-breasted Warblers in Talladega.
Join Coastal Manager Cortney Weatherby and rising superstar birder Mason Currier as they lead you through a morning tour of the Clearwater Tract in Upper Delta. The Mobile – Tensaw River Delta is one of coastal Alabama’s best open secrets for birding spectacles in the entire state. I
Enjoy unparalleled access to the researchers and their work, with up-close-and-personal views of some amazing birds!
Towering above Leesburg, Alabama (the Paris of the South), Cherokee Rock Village features monumental boulder formations, mature pine-oak-hickory forest, and spectacular views to the east and nearby Weiss Lake. Its fame, to the extent that is a thing, stems from it being a destination for rock climbers, who travel great distances to do bouldering there. But for our purposes, it's a spectacular place for hawk-watching in the Fall, and the woods are generally productive for songbirds, woodpeckers, and the like. We stand a chance at logging several species of early winter visitants, along with the resident species, and we hope, some fall migrants.
The swamp’s edges and dense woodlands should be great for migrating warblers like Hooded, Bay-breasted, and Tennessee but can host a variety of other songbirds as they arrive or depart for winter, including Least Flycatchers or Summer Tanagers. We will also scan the swamp for Wood Ducks, wading birds, and other waterbirds that may be hidden here and take some time to enjoy the crisp fall air before winter.
