Alabama’s storied and historic Black Belt region is a premier destination for birding in the Southeast that features open prairie grasslands to forests to bottomland swamps, giving festival attendees the rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of many species of birds in pristine settings. As the Southeast’s largest prairie ecosystem, it is the only place you can find Wood Storks and Swallow-tailed Kites alongside Dickcissels, Painted Buntings and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. The festival kicks off Friday night with a free welcome party in Greensboro. Choose your own itinerary from events across four counties. Field trips are led by expert guides.
