The Audubon Bird Sanctuary
The Audubon Bird Sanctuary is celebrated as a premier destination for witnessing Alabama’s awe-inspiring spring bird migrations. This avian sanctuary spans 164 acres, encompassing maritime forests, serene marshes, pristine dunes, and diverse ecosystems, with a robust trail system for avid explorers. Located at the island's eastern tip, this sanctuary is the first respite for neo-tropical migrant birds after their grueling flight across the Gulf from Central and South America each spring.
