Alabama Coastal BirdFest

Description

Birders and nature lovers from across the United States and Canada flock to south Alabama every year to experience one of the prime birdwatching opportunities on the Gulf Coast during fall migration. More than 370 bird species have been spotted at various locations along the Alabama coast, and BirdFest guides expertly lead attendees on boat and walking trips to some of the best birding spots in the area, including locations along the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail. All bus trips, most all workshops, the closing reception with keynote speaker presentation, and the free, family-friendly Bird and Nature Expo on Oct. 7, 9am-1pm, are all located at 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center. Read the schedule carefully to understand where your selected trip(s) meets at. Trips include guided birding tours for all levels, kayak paddles, boat rides, and workshops. This year's keynote speaker at the Friday night closing reception is Emma Rhodes, Co-Founder of the Banding Coalition of the Americas, a non-profit organization focused on better understanding migratory birds using banding and advanced tracking techniques. Registration is open NOW and closes on September 22 at 11:59pm! For full details, schedule, stays, and more visit https://southalabamalandtrust.org/birdfest/
