The Third Annual Black Belt Birding Festival in Greensboro is slated for Friday, Aug. 4 and Saturday, Aug. 5. 

The occasion highlights the birds of the Black Belt region in Alabama and their roles in the ecosystem. 

“As the Southeast’s largest prairie ecosystem, the Black Belt is unique unto itself," Dr. Scot Duncan, Executive Director of Alabama Audubon. "There is nowhere else you can find Wood Storks and Swallow-tailed Kites alongside Dickcissels and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. We are committed to fostering connections in the region so that more people, from all over, have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary place.”

The event will also have food and live music. 

Registration closes on July 31. See the website for more detail.
