Alabama NewsCenter — Black Belt Birding Festival showcases the natural beauty, cultural diversity of west Alabama

By Carla Davis

Birding enthusiasts from across Alabama and the Southeast will be flying to Greensboro and the surrounding area later this month for the Second Annual Black Belt Birding Festival, and there’s still time to join this growing celebration of nature.

Hosted by Alabama Audubon, the event on July 29-30 spotlights the diverse varieties of birds that flock into the state’s rural Black Belt region, particularly during the summertime. It is part of the Alabama Audubon Black Belt Birding Initiative, which works to bring the economic and environmental benefits of bird-based ecotourism to rural west Alabama. Founded in 1946, Alabama Audubon is the state’s leading nonprofit promoting bird conservation as well as understanding and awareness of birds, their habitats and their place in the natural world.
