The 15th annual John L. Borom Alabama Coastal BirdFest
to
Birders know the Alabama Gulf Coast is a prime spot to see birds during the fall migration, and since 2004, BirdFest has attracted visitors from more than 27 states and Canada—many returning multiple times. BirdFest showcases great bird- and nature-watching spots all around Baldwin and Mobile counties, including Fort Morgan, Dauphin Island, Weeks Bay, Mobile-Tensaw Delta, Bayou La Batre, Forever Wild Grand Bay Savanna, Gulf Shores, Bon Secour River, Fly Creek, Environmental Studies Center (a wildlife rehabilitation facility), Alligator Alley (a “gator rescue” facility), and more. No matter your level of birding experience, BirdFest is a great adventure.
