Birmingham Audubon will hold its annual Russell Bailey Memorial Labor Day field trip on Sept. 7, 2015. Our day will begin at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens at 7:00 a.m. with a meet-up in the gardens’ parking lot. The gardens, a well known birding location in our metro area, are an important fall migration stop for many species and home to many resident woodland birds. We plan to spend up to 2 hours at the Gardens, and then drive to Lake Purdy for the remainder of the morning.
