Bird Banding on Dauphin Island

Come learn about the birds around us in a fun and engaging way! Join the public bird banding event on Dauphin Island, Mobile, AL, to get an up-close look at a wide range of native and migratory birds. Then observe and learn about the process of bird banding and why it’s important to avian conservation efforts.

The crew of licensed banders and experienced volunteers from the Banding Coalition of the Americas will share life history information about each species. They are happy to answer any questions you may have throughout the event. Photos are encouraged.

This unique experience is the most anticipated public outreach event of the year. BCA is non-profit and all-volunteer. They rely on public donations to be able to do events such as this one.

Please note: Even though the event is free, the Fort Morgan Historic Site charges an entrance fee. Please make sure to pay the fee to help maintain the fort.
