Audubon Teaches Nature: Baby Bird Season

Oak Mountain State Park 200 Terrace Dr,, Pelham, AL

Great Horned Owl chick compliments Ladonna Idell/Alabama Wildlife Center. There are many sure-fire signs of spring: the days are longer, flowers are blooming, birds are singing and the nightly chorus of insects will soon fill the air. Accompanying that birdsong is the chirp, chirp, chirp of baby birds. What to do when one finds one? Is it injured or orphaned? Is it okay to touch it, or put it back in the nest? These are all questions that will be answered by Scottie & the AWC team; come prepared to learn the answers!

Audubon Teaches Nature: Swallow-tailed Kites in Alabama

Oak Mountain State Park 200 Terrace Dr,, Pelham, AL

Swallow-tailed kites are among the most striking of all birds, and their graceful flight is a sight to behold. Although they breed in southern swamps and riparian areas, they undergo a post-breeding dispersal that takes them well north of their breeding range. During this program, Eric will discuss the status of the swallow-tailed kite in Alabama and the results of a 2009-2011 survey of roost sites in the state. Regular attendees on our summer trips will especially enjoy this program.
