SUMMARY:Audubon Courses: Nocturnal Flight Calls (NFCs) with Dr. Joe Gyekis ($)
DESCRIPTION:Join Alabama Audubon and special guest\, Dr. Joe Gyekis from Penn State University\, for an introduction to Night Flight Calls that you won’t want to miss! During migration\, especially in fall\, many songbirds use specialized calls while flying high in our atmosphere en route to their next destination. Nocturnal flight calls (NFCs) are short vocalizations made by birds during nighttime migration that are distinct from the typical songs and calls birds make during the day.\nThe exact uses for NFCs are not fully understood\, but they are thought to be used to communicate with other migrants nearby who are navigating in almost complete darkness. Researchers use these calls to detect… — Event details: https://www.addevent.com/event/Xk26458491\n——\nPowered by addevent.com\nShare your next event with us!

SUMMARY:Russ Bailey Beginner Bird Walk (Free!)
DESCRIPTION:Russ Bailey was a long-time member of Birmingham Audubon\, and “back in the day” when we held only one field trip per month\, Russ would have an impromptu field trip on the Labor Day holiday. His philosophy was that with the southbound migration well underway\, it was pointless to waste a perfectly good day of birding! Russ usually went to Lake Purdy to look for shorebirds\, but the past few years the shorebirding there has been lackluster due to changing water levels in the lake. Therefore\, this year we’re headed to Birmingham Botanical Gardens\, a well-known local birding hotspot. The botanical garden’s woodland habitat and numerous walking trails will provide excellent birding…\n—\nEvent details:\nhttps://www.addevent.com/event/HW26118563\n——\nPowered by addevent.com\nShare your next event with us!

Andrew will cover the basics of binocular use\, how to use habitat as a field mark for identification\, and general bird identification\, including by both sight and sound. We will travel as a group from the overlook area\, around the park\, and back to the overlook in…\n—\nEvent details:\nhttps://www.addevent.com/event/Ne26334821\n——\nPowered by addevent.com\nShare your next event with us!

SUMMARY:Birding by River // Tombigbee River\, Gainesville (Free!)
DESCRIPTION:The Tombigbee River in west Alabama will be part two of our Birding by the River summer trip series. The beauty of birding west Alabama in late summer – a time of post-breeding dispersal and early migrants – is that one never knows what to expect\, and several times we have seen unexpected species. Past years this trip has included Sandhill Crane\, Black Tern\, Yellow Warbler\, Baltimore Oriole and Lark Sparrow\, to name but a few. We may also have distant views of Wood Storks and both kite species.Our first birding destination will be the Howell Heflin Lock and Dam on the banks of the Tombigbee River east of Gainesville on AL Hwy 39. We’ll spend about 90 minutes here\, walking and birding…\n—\nEvent details:\nhttps://www.addevent.com/event/VF26110856\n——\nPowered by addevent.com\nShare your next event with us!
