 The Fall Bird Count (our 62nd!) will be held Saturday, September 26, 2026. Our goal is to count as many bird species as possible by mustering as many parties as possible to cover as much of Jefferson, Shelby and St. Clair Counties as we can. It's an all-day affair, from before sunup to sundown, or as much time as people are able to devote to the count.

The Tombigbee River in west Alabama will be part two of our Birding by the River summer trip series. The beauty of birding west Alabama in late summer – a time of post-breeding dispersal and early migrants – is that one never knows what to expect, and several times we have seen unexpected species.

While summer temperatures in the Black Belt can be hot, the birding can be quite good - making it well worth the effort to endure the heat.

The Alabama River west of Montgomery has long been a birding destination for a number of the River Region’s specialties, and we’ll focus our efforts on both the north and south sides of the river looking for them!
