The fifth annual Black Belt Birding Festival. Highlighting the birds, history, and heritage of Alabama's Black Belt region, the festival brings together the joy of birding with the benefits of ecotourism to a region of profoundly important ecology and civil rights history.
"We are super excited about this year's festival given that participation has surged over the past few years. Nowhere else can you see Wood Storks, Scissor-tailed Flycatchers, and Swallow-tailed Kites against a backdrop of bountiful grasslands and epic civil rights history."—Dr. Scot Duncan, Executive Director of Alabama Audubon.
