This weekend we decided to go in search of birds. Due to the drought we are in and so very low water levels, it was a bit of a hunt but still worth the excursions.
On Saturday we headed to Limestone Park in Alabaster, AL. It is a fairly industrial area but home to a park that is surrounded by fields and wetlands. A local model airplane club leases some of the park and yet the birds seem to co-exist well with the model airplanes. Here are some photos, mostly taken from their observation platform:

| More Northern Mockingbirds - they were quite playful! |
