Welcome to the 12th annual Alabama Coastal BirdFest   Now a Birding & Nature Festival!

In addition to your favorite birding trips, we have expanded! We are now a "birding and nature festival," with 15 new trips to new locations and opportunities to see birds, alligators, wildflowers, dolphins, and other wildlife and habitats. Also, we have three new workshops at 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center on hummingbirds, nature photography, and getting started in birding! In addition, we have partnered with the Environmental Education Association of Alabama to offer a new workshop for teachers in grades K-12 to show how easy it is to incorporate environmental education into the current curriculum.
