Join us for an inaugural birding adventure at the new Flying Creek Nature Preserve in Fairhope! The 108-acre parcel of land between Veterans Boulevard and Fly Creek boasts a diverse forest and riparian ecosystem. Since there haven’t been any reports of birding taking place at this site, we don’t exactly know what to expect! We hypothesize sightings of species such as vireos, nuthatch, woodpeckers, and potential for some warblers.

This location is not currently an eBird hotspot and there are no checklists submitted for this site yet!

Cost: Please note this event is free but registration is required. This program is limited to 15 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

Trip Leader: Coastal Outreach Manager Cortney Weatherby (cortney@alaudubon.org/402-297-1775 [day of program use only]). Please reach out to Cortney if you have any questions, concerns, or require special accessibility accommodations so that we can try to assist you.

LOCATION DETAILS: This is an in person event. There are restrooms at this location, but they are a .5 mile walk from the parking lot and not along the route we plan on taking. Ample parking is available and there are no parking fees. Please remember to wear seasonally appropriate attire and bring water, snacks, sunscreen, and bug spray as necessary.

TRAVEL INFORMATION : We will be meeting at the preserve parking lot at 8am. Address: 22430 Main St, Fairhope, AL 36532.
