Visiting Alabama's Gulf Coast in April or October? If so,
then join the Hummer/Bird Study Group for the
annual bird banding event at Fort Morgan. The Hummer/Bird Study Group is a group
of dedicated volunteers who delicately capture, document, and release migrating
neo-tropical birds during their layover on Alabama’s Gulf Coast. This is a
unique chance to participate and learn more about these birds before they begin
their long journey across the Gulf of Mexico.
Rich with a large diversity of native and migratory species, the coastal area is a haven for nature lovers. Bring along the camera and you'll capture some amazing shots of migratory birds heading across the Gulf of Mexico. The Alabama Coastal Birding Trail is a series of five loops that meander over Baldwin and Mobile counties. Each loop offers natural beauty and wildlife to explore and can be enjoyed on a leisurely day trip or a extended weekend getaway.
While traveling along Alabama's Gulf Coast take a side trip and explore the scenic Coastal Connection that is over 130 mile long. Winding along Alabama's scenic and diverse coastal landscape you'll discover natural beauty as well as diverse attractions to enjoy.
Alabama's Coastal Connection was recently honored as one of America's newest National Scenic Byway. "This designation is a great honor and is definitely validation for the folks who've been working on this project for years," said Byway Coordinator Colette Boehm. "We are all excited about the designation. It will be a great asset in getting the word out about the amazing resources and attractions we have along Alabama's Gulf Coast."
