Southern Birding Tours

Southern Birding Tours is an Alabama-focused birding outfit run by lifelong Alabamians who combine local birding knowledge with travel-industry expertise. The tours operate under Conservancy Travel, which is managed by the Center for Conservation and Community, an Alabama-based nonprofit committed to eco-tourism that supports conservation work in the state. The team specialises in spring migration on Alabama's Gulf Coast, when Neotropical migrants make landfall after the 600-mile flight across the Gulf of Mexico - Dauphin Island and Fort Morgan are among the most celebrated fallout sites in the country. Tours also visit the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, often dubbed 'America's Amazon' for its biodiversity. Guides reference the wider Alabama Birding Trails network, which catalogues over 280 sites and documents the state's 430+ recorded species, and pair birding with regional culinary experiences featuring gumbo and Gulf seafood.
