Project that is part of the larger birding trails project I’ve been involved with for several years now. To learn about all the Birding Trails in Alabama visit www.alabamabirdingtrails.com.

Photos from Gadsden’s Mall: An Alabama Birding Trail Site
Just a couple of quick snapshots from a recent trip to the Gadsden, Alabama shopping mall. A really easy-to-access birding trail site with an almost certainty of seeing birds. Notice all the cormorants in the trees nesting!
The Herons of East Lake Park
Interpretive Panel developed for the Birmingham Audubon Society in conjunction with the Alabama Birding Trails project.
Desoto State Park Birding Trip
A spring trip to Desoto State Park before heading on to Little River Canyon and a meeting of the Appalachian Highlands Birding Trail group at the Canyon Center. I remember going here as a child with my siblings and mother and father. Great times were had along the trails at Desoto State Park–every single trail…. Thanks Mama!
Interpretive Panel for West Point Lake / Alligator Trail Area
Just sent this panel off to be produced. When complete, it will be mounted at the Alligator Trail area on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property in Chambers County, Alabama. You can read more about the location by visiting www.alabamabirdingtrails.com and clicking on the Chambers County link.
Alabama Birding Trail Project
Wow! A little over a year ago, I started working the Center for Economic Development on the University of Alabama campus on a project with the Alabama Tourism Department. We took the project over from a consultant who had done a good bit of initial work into organizing folks. We held the first of four kick-offs last week, this one for the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail. We’ll be doing the other 3, along with some additional work on 4 that already exist to varying degrees in Alabama, over the next year. For now, explore the Piedmont Plateau Birding Trail on the statewide website that I’ve set up: for the Alabama Birding Trails project: www.alabamabirdingtrails.com. It isn’t fully developed yet, but you can read about each of the sites, see photos for many of them and find all of them via gps mapping. What a great project! (Snapshot of the website below)
