The Learning and Engagement Department is excited to announce a new seasonal birding walk series here at your Birmingham Zoo! Three times a year (Winter, Spring, and Summer), in collaboration with Alabama Audubon, we will be hosting a birding walk on Birmingham Zoo grounds. Led by Alabama Audubon representative, Greg Harber, you will have the chance to learn about the backyard birds present during all four seasons. One of our walks will be held during a major citizen science event, the Great Backyard Bird Count (February 12th-15th, 2027). Come add to the biodiversity science happening in your very own state! No previous birding experience is necessary. If you require binoculars, they will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. When: 8:00am to 10:00am on the day of the event Where: YOUR Birmingham Zoo (2630 Cahaba Road, Birmingham, AL 35223) Please meet the Birmingham Zoo representatives in front of the Children’s Zoo Gate entrance (to the right of the main entrance) 5-10 minutes before the event starts.
