Tips for Printing  |  Help Us Write This Guide

Our Alabama Birding Guide is a work in progress! The map below has links to counties that have text descriptions of birding sites. Click the county name to view or print the birding guide for the county. Counties that are not named have guides that will be published soon or have no information available. 

You Can Help Us Fill In The Blanks! 

Beneath the map you will find information on how you can help us add birding destinations.

ALABAMA BIRDING MAP

This map below is the only one in our online birding guide. We are unable to provide detailed highway maps to the locations in each county. There are two companion resources that you will find to be very helpful when used in connection with this online guide.

A Birders Guide To Alabama        Delorme Alabama Atlas and Gazetteer 
At the bottom of this page is information on how to obtain these books.

You can help us complete the Alabama Birdfinding Guide

If you know of a good birding location in Alabama that is not already described in our guide, send the name of the location and the county to us by email. our email address is awca@bamabirds.com  We will contact you for more details about the location and making arrangements for writing the location description.

If you would like to write an article for this guide follow these simple guidelines: If the location is a small site write it as a "single stop location". The information should cover, how to get there, a brief description of the habitat, the type of facilities available, and any helpful comments about the location. Refer to the article on Sherling Lake Park  in the Butler County section for a guide.

If the site is large, or consists of several small sites close together, the article should probably be written as a "Birding Trail" article. The article on the Eufaula Wildlife Refuge in the Barbour County section is a good example of this type of article.

Tips for printing the Alabama Online Birdfinding Guide.

Some of the pages in the guide contain quite a bit of text. This, and other factors such as the navigation bars and pictures, make the pages quite long. If you simply click the printer button you will print items that you don't need and you may be surprised to discover that the "page" is actually 10 sheets of paper long.

To print just the text on the pages try this:

1. Open a word processor (Notepad, Word, Works, WordPerfect etc.)

2. Return to the page you wish to print and select just the text that describes the location(s).

3. Place the cursor over the selected text and right click. In the box click "copy".

4. Move to your word processor and right click on the blank page. In the box click "paste".

5. The text should flow onto the page ready for editing, printing, or saving to a file.

This procedure may not work on Mac computers.
