Birding contacts and birdwatching information



Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

		I'm an experienced birder and have been birding since I was 10 years old. I am very familiar with the Guntersville area as well as much of the Decatur and Huntsville areas (Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, Hays Nature Preserve, etc.). Guntersville is excellent for waterfowl and raptors (including numerous bald eagles), especially in winter, as well as migrant passerines and winter sparrows. The Guntersville State Park is great for birds like red-headed and pileated woodpeckers; prothonotary, palm, pine, hooded, Kentucky, worm-eating, and yellow-throated warblers; and occasionally wild turkeys. I'm available anytime with advance notice, and am more than happy to help birders or answer birding-related e-mails about the area.

This is a beautiful shallow river that is covered in cahaba lilys in the spring. Perry county Fish Hatchery sure to see Bald Eagles many species of Ducks shorebirds or peeps during the winter. During the summer several species of warblers and other woodland birds also great spot during migration in spring and fall. I also have several favorite spots in Tuscaloosa Talladega National Forrest is a great spot during the summer. Airport Swamp is a great spot all year Ive recorded about 125 birds at this spot. Fosters loop road is a dirt road trough swamps and woods a great area for birding. Foster sod farm is another area great for birding sure to see Northern Harriers, Loggerhead Shrikes several species of Sparrows during the winter. Great spot during summer also.
