SPRING MIGRATION CONTINUES AT DI AS BIRDS MOVE NORTH TO THEIR SUMMER NESTING GROUNDS. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY HAVE FOOD, WATER, AND SHELTER AS THEY MAKE THEIR LONG JOURNEY. THE MISSION OF DIBS IS TO PROVIDE CRITICAL NATURAL HABITAT ON DI FOR THESE TRAVELERS ! WILL YOU DO YOUR PART? DONATE, FILL UP THOSE FEEDERS, PLANT FOOD THAT SUSTAINS THE BIRDS, AND PROVIDE SAFE PLACES.

Many thanks to the Dauphin Island Women’s Club for donating $500 to DIBS recently to further our mission of protecting critical bird habitat.
