I thought some of you may be interested in this. Check out http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage for pictures of the west end of Dauphin Island, Alabama. (once at that web page, look for a link to "Aerials: Dauphin Island, Ala.") Dauphin Island is a prime birding destination, especially in spring and fall when the Alabama Ornithological Society holds its meetings there, and many of us in Tennessee have been there. We don't often go out to the west end. Most of the birding is on the eastern side, as that has many more trees - and apparently did not suffer as much damage. You may also want to check http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/LOUI.html which is the Louisiana birding listserve. There's not a lot of birding going on there right now, but it's nice to read the posts of people offering their homes for birders forced to evacuate from further south.
