Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion:

Through more than seventy-five years of conservation work in one of our nation’s most ecologically rich states, Alabama Audubon has seen firsthand how diversity strengthens natural communities. We believe that the same principle applies to human communities, which is why our organization is committed to providing equitable opportunities for all Alabamians to learn about and enjoy wild birds, their habitats, and the natural world. One of the best ways to support that belief is by valuing and actively seeking to strengthen diversity among our staff, our board, and our membership. To that end, Alabama Audubon welcomes the whole of our community to our work, and strives to make our programs, classes, and events open and accessible to all.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY 🎥 Friday, October 9th Mobile Birding Week is excited to be bringing "Listers: A Glimpse into Extreme Birdwatching" to the big screen!

This entertaining film follows brothers Owen and Quentin Reiser as they embark on a “Big Year”—a year-long quest to see as many different bird species as possible. Living out of a minivan and crisscrossing the country in pursuit of birds, the brothers give an entertaining behind-the-scenes look at the highs, lows, and quirks of extreme birdwatching. Along the way, the film explores what drives people to chase birds, keep lists, and compete—and ultimately asks what it really means to find joy in a hobby.

Popcorn, soft drinks, and water will be provided. Grab a friend and join us for a night of birds, laughs, and celebrating all the ways to enjoy the hobby of birdwatching.

Doors open at 6pm, movie starts at 6:45pm. This event is FREE, but registration is REQUIRED.

Our Project Safe Flight volunteers have been busy monitoring buildings for birds that have hit windows. Fall migration monitoring started on August 20th, and over 40 birds have been found - 20 of them Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. Sadly, ruby-throats are one of the most common species that we find during monitoring. The bird in the photo was found stunned after hitting a window, and it eventually flew away. None of the others documented were found alive.

Window collisions are heartbreaking. It's hard to see photos of deceased and injured birds, and even harder to see it in person. The good news is, this problem has a solution and we can all do our part to help save birds. You can join our monitoring team - help us document where collisions are the worst so we can work with building owners to make their windows bird-safe. You can also make your home and office windows safe for birds. There are a variety of effective solutions out there.

Drop a comment or picture of what you have done to prevent window collisions at your home or office! Someone might be inspired to do the same.

Science Saturday!

Our science team uses bird banding as a tool to study birds - from sparrows in the Black Belt to plovers on Dauphin Island. You can learn a lot from banding, including survival, movements, site fidelity, and body condition. Our team has banded thousands of songbirds and shorebirds over the last several years and we have learned some new information about species that spend some part of their life in the state. But that's not what this post is about!

All three members of our science staff have federal and state permits to band songbirds and shorebirds. None of them are permitted to band hummingbirds...yet! Recently, our Science & Conservation Director went to Arizona to take a 10-day workshop with Hummingbird Conservation Networks. Over the course of that 10 days, she learned how to safely capture, take body measurements, age, and band EIGHT species of hummingbirds. As you can imagine, it's a little bit different than banding a cardinal or a plover! We are hoping to soon have a permitted hummingbird ba**er on staff and to put these new skills to use here in Alabama. For now, enjoy these photos from the workshop!

Celebrating Birdability Week! Birding is for everyone—come explore with us!
At Alabama Audubon, we invite everyone to experience the joy of birding all year long, but during Birdability Week, October 18-24, we’re especially celebrating the many different ways people can connect with birds and nature.

You don’t have to hike miles of trails or travel somewhere new to be a birder. Birding can happen where you are—from your backyard or front porch to a local park or an accessible trail. We hope to see you there!

All event details and registrations can be found here->https://alaudubon.org/event

Happy first day of fall! 🍁

We know it still feels like summer in Alabama, but fall migration has been underway the last few weeks - and it's not over yet! Migration is a tough time for birds. Many are migrating for the first time, and all of them are just doing their best to find food, shelter, and safety during their journey south. They face numerous threats including bad weather, predators, and windows. But you can help!

🐦 Keep outdoor lights off from 12AM to 6AM. Birds migrate at night and get disoriented by artificial light.
🐦 Keep cats inside or in a catio. Outdoor cats are a big threat to birds and other wildlife. Keep your cats and our wildlife safe by keeping them indoors.
🐦 Make your windows bird-safe. There are so many options, from long-lasting decals to window paint markers. The key is that markers are on the outside of the windows and spaced 2x2" apart.
🐦 Join our Project Safe Flight team and monitor buildings for bird-window collisions. Fall migration monitoring goes through November 20 - you can join any time!
