     From the parking lot shrikes to the sea birds cruising the jetties and fast-moving water of the Perdido Pass, this trip is a fun wintertime stop! Osprey, shrikes, and other winter birds of prey enjoy the perches found along the entrance and parking lot so it won’t take long to get into the birding here. As we head through the dunes towards the beach we will keep an eye out for sparrows and maybe a passing Northern harrier. Once we hit the beach, we will turn our attention to shorebirds like snowy plover, Wilson’s plover, ruddy turnstone, and mixed flocks of terns. As we walk, we will spend time chatting about the species of conservation concern that use these beaches for nesting come springtime! When we reach the jetties and pass we have the chance to see waterbirds including scoters, gannet, mergansers, and loons. Last year the water was gin clear on this trip, and folks got to watch a black scoter and several loons fish in the shallows. Wintertime has its perks! We will complete our loop by heading towards the base of the bridge and back through the dunes to the parking lot. Scopes may be helpful for this trip if you have one, but the trip leader will have one on hand as well. Binoculars will be available to borrow.

    Join us for the Third Annual Bird of the Year Fundraiser!

    Get ready to spread your wings and celebrate! At this event, we will reveal our 2026 Bird of the Year, one that we will celebrate and learn about throughout 2026!
    ABOUT BIRD OF THE YEAR
    Bird of the Year is a program through which Alabama Audubon chooses a native Alabama bird species that is benefiting directly from our conservation programs. The 2026 bird is particularly cherished by Alabama’s growing community of people who come together to celebrate birds or advocate for their protection, and is a standout species. Throughout the year, the bird will be prominently featured in outreach programs, and everyone will have the opportunity to learn much more about the species than can be found in a field guide. We will also be awarding our second annual  Avian Ally award to an organization or person that went above and beyond to help protect Alabama’s birds over the last year.

    Who will our feathered friend be in 2026? The original artwork showcasing our Bird of the Year will be available for auction, plus there will be a chance to snag some limited edition t-shirts with the featured bird.

    Our Artist for 2026 is Val Webb. Val has spent 25 years carving and painting birds, insects, and botanicals into beautiful bas-relief clay murals for homes and businesses across the South. Today, she divides her time between drawing birds and teaching others to do the same. Enjoy an afternoon of music, delicious food, birdy connections, and support our conservation efforts! We look forward to seeing you there! No dress code -  come comfortable and ready to talk about birds!

    This trip will cover the marsh boardwalk area of Meaher State Park, boasting some incredible views of the gateway to the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and the birds that rely on it! The birding for this trip can get started quickly right where we will meet in the marsh boardwalk parking area with palm, pine, and orange crowned warblers as well as overhead osprey and other raptors.
    You never know what might pass overhead at this site so keeping an eye on the sky is always encouraged! The shrub lined pathway leading to the boardwalk is typically filled with yellow-rumped warblers but sparrows, cedar waxwing, and towhee can be spotted as well. The elevated boardwalk provides birders a great angle to get an in depth look into the marsh, shore, and wading birds that can be found in the area.
    We will look for species like ibis (white and glossy), grebe, tricolored and little blue herons, rails, shoveler, gadwall, wigeon, and maybe a flyby from a Northern harrier. Depending on the tide the surrounding mudflats can hold Wilson’s snipe, yellowlegs, avocet, and dunlin. This is a trip that travels a short distance but can have looks at some really great birds! Binoculars will be available to borrow. A scope is good to have at this location so bring one if you have it!

    The trip leader will have one or two on hand as well for the group. You can view the Meaher State Park eBird hotspot here to see what’s been recently spotted at this location!This event is free but registration is required.

    Tucked along the water’s edge the Fairhope Pier and Beach Park offer not only iconic views of Mobile Bay, but its birds too! We will meet at the entrance to the pier and start by scanning the waters for gulls, terns, and other waterbirds. While most folks come to this spot to check out the water, the tree lines by the bluffs can be a haven for songbirds in the area and aren't to be overlooked. We will walk the south beach park area which around this time of year can hold brown-headed nuthatch, yellow-bellied sapsucker, pine warbler, brown thrasher, and kinglets.

    This site is one of the 18 across the coast in Alabama that is monitored as part of the Audubon Coastal Bird Surveys due to its important habitat. We plan on having bird walks at this site throughout the year so folks can see how the bird diversity changes and just how important of a space it is for our feathered friends! All birding levels are welcome, and binoculars will be available to borrow! The trip leader will have a scope available for viewing of birds near the pier and on the bay. Y

    Fort Morgan State Historic Site is a favorite amongst birders for good reason! This location provides easy access to diverse habitat along the Alabama coast. So diverse that it is split into 5 individual stops on the Coastal Alabama Birding Trail. Since we will have limited time before the fort closes we will head into the fort immediately at 4pm and bird the inside of the property first starting with the middle grounds tree line. This edge habitat and open field combo this time of year can hold several swallow and sparrow species, meadowlark, palm and pine warblers, and sometimes early migrants like buntings.

    We will head along the seawall where kestrel and shrike are frequently found while also scoping out over the dunes and gulf for other raptors, gannet, and passing waterbirds. After making a quick stop at the bathrooms, we will exit the fort property onto the beach right where the waters of Mobile Bay meet the Gulf.

    As we walk the beach back to the parking area we will look for shorebirds and waterbirds including snowy plover, piping plover, whimbrel, and peeps. Our last stop will be on the pier to scope for mergansers, scoter, grebe, and loons. If the group is interested and daylight allows, we may walk over to the stables area. This walk can be productive for songbirds and maybe an owl or nighthawk as the sun sets!Binoculars will be available to borrow and the trip leader will have a scope on hand as well.
