Join Alabama Audubon for this month's Nature at Noon outing at Bayfront Park in Daphne, AL. The park is situated along Mobile Bay, making it a great location for waders, shorebirds, and other waterbirds that can be seen fairly easily. We will also search the nearby woods and swamps in search of lingering migratory songbirds and to welcome back our winter residents!
