The Alabama Coastal Birding Trail 
The Alabama Coastal Birding Trail, arranged as a series of loops, describes the birding spots most frequented by Alabama birders. Each loop could easily take a half day or more. Detailed directions are provided in a sequential fashion, but it is not necessary to follow the complete loop. Suggestions are given for some of the birds that may be expected at each site. More current information can be obtained by calling the Rare Bird Alerts for Alabama, 205/987 2730 provided by the Alabama Ornithological Society (AOS), and for Northwest Florida/South Alabama, 850/934 6974 provided by Francis M. Weston Audubon Society, Pensacola. On the Internet check the AOS website http:// www.bham.net/aos/ for current information. For further details on this area or other areas in Alabama see A Birder's Guide to Alabama, The University of Alabama Press (2001). Alabama's Gulf Coast is a paradise not only for birders, but for visitors with a variety of interests. We have beautiful gulf beaches, historic homes and fortresses, championship golf courses, world-class fishing and much, much, more. 
Hunting also occurs in our area. Hunting season usually runs from October through February, though nonconsumptive use is permitted year round. For more information on hunting or fishing contact the Alabama Game and Fish Division at 251-626-5474. We remind all birders to exercise great care in enjoying the birds of our coast; care for the birds and their habitat, care for the property owners who host our avian visitors, and care for other birders. Thank you! We hope you'll take a look at all this great region has to offer. Please visit one of the welcome centers located on the maps within this trail guide, or contact one of the organizations below and let us help you make plans to come back again and again.
