It's that time of year again - all the warblers look the same! As most of us know, warblers in their breeding plumages can still be a task to view and identify due to their quick and elusive nature, usually well above our heads, and offer few good looks for a reliable identification
Join us for a fun evening celebrating one of our favorite urban birds, the Chimney Swift! We will meet at 6:00 PM. Our Science & Conservation Director will give a short talk about Chimney Swifts then we will watch as hundreds to thousands of swifts come into the chimney to roost for the night.

Towering above Leesburg, Alabama (the Paris of the South), Cherokee Rock Village features monumental boulder formations, mature pine-oak-hickory forest, and spectacular views to the east and nearby Weiss Lake. Its fame, to the extent that is a thing, stems from it being a destination for rock climbers, who travel great distances to do bouldering there. But for our purposes, it's a spectacular place for hawk-watching in the Fall, and the woods are generally productive for songbirds, woodpeckers, and the like. We stand a chance at logging several species of early winter visitants, along with the resident species, and we hope, some fall migrants.
Enjoy unparalleled access to the researchers and their work, with up-close-and-personal views of some amazing birds!
This is a great opportunity to explore rare and declining Longleaf Pine savannahs that used to dominate Alabama’s landscape thousands of years ago.
