From the Alabama Coastal Birding Trail: “A great blue heron sails across a Mobile Bay sunset. Pelicans fly in perfect formation as they prepare to nose-dive into the Gulf for the catch of the day. The Alabama Coastal Birding Trail is a birder’s paradise. Our sun-drenched coast is a popular resort area for a variety of feathered visitors and year-round residents. The trail spans two counties, and is enhanced by directional and interpretive signage, offering birding enthusiasts endless opportunities for avian appreciation.”

We’ve done a couple of the trails with our kids. Its a great change of pace and a lot of fun getting out into nature for some easy hikes. I highly recommend it if you have 5 or more days at your vacation.
