Bird of the Year Gala

In 2023, during the year of Alabama Birding, ALABAMA AUDUBON was discovered to be the oldest conservation nonprofit in Alabama by the Birmingham Historical Society—and we were named Best Nonprofit by the Best of Birmingham Awards! It’s an exciting time for us bird-lovers across the state.

We hope you’ll join us as we leap into 2024 with the kickoff of our exciting new Bird of the Year program—we can hardly keep the secret to ourselves!

ABOUT THE BIRD OF THE YEAR

Our annual Bird of the Year gala honors a native bird species observed often in Alabama, either year-round or through regular migration.

The aim of this event is to highlight a bird that will benefit directly from our conservation programs, and/or is a bird that is particularly cherished by Alabama’s growing community of people who come together to celebrate birds or advocate for their protection.

As part of the celebration of this species, it will be featured in programming throughout the year and everyone will have the opportunity to learn much more about the species than what can be found in a field guide. The bird was chosen by our staff after having been a standout species throughout the preceding year—and we can’t wait to tell you the story!

UNABLE TO ATTEND?

We really hope you can make the event, but if your calendar is full, you can still make an impact by giving to ALABAMA AUDUBON today.
