Domestic Trips: Mississippi River Flyway / Reelfoot Lake (TN) and Missouri's Bootheel

Join Alabama Audubon for a self-driven tour of northwestern Tennessee and southeastern Missouri in exploration along one of North America’s most important migratory flyways: the Mississippi River! Executive Director Dr. Scot Duncan and Program Coordinator Andrew Lydeard will guide participants around parts of Reelfoot Lake National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and adjacent wildlife management areas (WMA’s) in Tennessee and Conservation Areas (CA’s) in nearby Missouri. Andrew spent nearly three years exploring this area while in graduate school at Murray State University (KY) and will lead us to some of the birdiest locations in the region.
