Join us this September for a half-day adventure into Perry County to tally as many species as we can during walks through Perry Lakes Park.

We'll meet in the dense woodlands and bottomland forest of the Cahaba River in Perry Lakes Park. This location is ideal for birds such as Swainson's Thrushes, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Black-throated Green Warblers, and Wood Ducks features a 100 foot birding tower that participants can climb for incredible views! Please bring plenty of water and food as this is a Half-Day event. If the time permits, we will stop at Harrison Lake near Maplesville (which is not wheelchair accessible) on our return drive.

MEETING PLACE & LOCATION: Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Wendy's on Alabama Highway 5 in Brent. Please note the restaurant is permanently closed.

ADDRESS: 10393 AL-5, Brent, AL 35034

 LOCATION DETAILS: There is ample parking and admission is free to entry the properties. Porta potties are available at Perry Lakes Park, but the facilities are primitive at best, so please plan accordingly.
