Five Mile Creek on the Alabama Birding Trail
Brookside walkng trail has been added to the Appalchian Highlands Birding Trail web site!
Greenway Park incorporates a truly remarkable mix of habitats in close proximity. The hardwoods scattered through the more “park-like” portions of the park are good for Red-eyed and Yellow-throated Vireos, Yellow-billed Cuckoos, Orchard Orioles, Black-and-white Warblers, and various flycatchers. There is a considerable amount of scrub and brush in the portions of the park that were formerly home sites. Those areas are full of Eastern Towhees, Carolina Wrens, and Field Sparrows, and are ideal spots to look for White-crowned Sparrows among the White-throated, Song, and Swamp Sparrows that appear in winter.
