Audubon Bird Refuge Beach, Dauphin Island, Alabama Poster

"Audubon Bird Refuge Beach, Dauphin Island, Alabama" by Catherine Sherman. Beautiful clouds streak the skies on a February morning on the beach bordering the Audubon Bird Sanctuary on Dauphin Island, Alabama. The tire tracks are from official vehicles that service the refuge. Dauphin Island is considered one of the top four locations in North America for viewing spring bird migrations. The Sanctuary consists of 137 acres of maritime forest, marshes, and dunes, including a lake, a swamp, and a beach. The three-mile trail system within the Sanctuary is a National Recreational Trail. The refuge is at the Eastern end of Dauphin Island, a 14 mile-long barrier island south of the Alabama mainland Gulf Coast.
