Let's Go Birding Together

Join Alabama Audubon and Jefferson County Greenways for special early access to Turkey Creek Nature Preserve for Let’s Go Birding Together!

Let’s Go Birding Together is a National Audubon Initiative that invites birders of all backgrounds to join for a leisurely birdwatching trip. For this adventure, the gates of the preserve will be opened early, and participants will be able to access the preserve for an exclusive, early field trip in this pristine area. Whether you are an expert birder or just “bird-curious”, we welcome all levels of birders to join. Binoculars will be available for those who need to borrow some.

We will meet at the Blue Hole parking lot – the first parking lot on your left when you come through the gate. From here, we will travel as a group along the road, searching for breeding birds along the way!

Accessibility: We will travel about a mile as a group on mostly paved surfaces. However, there are gravel walking paths and shoulders that we may also traverse. Terrain at Turkey Creek Nature Preserve is moderately sloped. Some surfaces may be uneven or have debris such as rocks, roots, or sticks that may not be suitable for all people. There are some benches and restrooms available at this location. Please reach out to your trip leader prior to the event if you require special accommodations.
