Alabama Coastal Birdfest 2009


I have been attending the John L. Borom Alabama Coastal Birdfest this past few days. It is an incredible event and you can lean more about it at this link: http://www.alabamacoastalbirdfest.com/
The photo of me releasing this tiny bird was taken by Kathy Hicks who designed the poster for the event and is an exceptional photographer.
I had a great time on Thursday morning going to the bird banding in Fort Morgan.
I want to personally thank D. Fran Morley for her dedication and experienced organization of the event. Thanks for letting me volunteer and enjoy this experience.
