  • Meaher State Park 5200 Battleship Parkway Spanish Fort, AL, 36527 United States (map)

Event/ Program Description : We are excited to join forces with our partners and hosts of this event, Meaher State Park. All birders with any level of experience are welcome to take part in this program. We will take a walk out on our boardwalk which is part of the Alabama Birding Trails System and holds opportunities to see birds like American bittern, limpkins, and a variety of waterfowl species this time of year. The knowledgeable park staff will also be highlighting any other interesting wildlife we see along the way. We will discuss a few different tools to use in bird identification as well. You are encouraged to bring a pair of binoculars if you have them but there will be some available to borrow if needed.
