| The ever-popular Galleria McDonalds will serve as our departure point one last time. Plan to leave at 7:00 a.m. again. We will caravan west on I-59/20 to the rest area just east of exit #32. We will take a rest break there and then travel by way of CR-20 (exit #32) to the Gainesville lock facility on AL-39. Those wishing to meet us at the lock facility should be there at 9:00 a.m., at the access road on the east side of the river, south of CR-20. Once we have birded this locale we’ll head north toward Aliceville, making stops in the New West Greene community and other birding sites along the way. Lunch will be indoors at a local restaurant to add a boost to the local economy! Next we’ll head south down the west side of the Tombigbee River, looking for kites, Wood Storks and Grasshopper Sparrows along the way. The general store in Gainesville will be our final stop for the day, where an ice cream treat will surely fortify our sun-baked bones! For more information see Field Trips.
Remember, these trips will be daylong affairs so plan accordingly and bring plenty of drinks and snacks in addition to a full tank of gas, insect repellent, rain gear, and appropriate summer attire. |
