While you’re in the area, take a trip over to the Dauphin Island Audubon Bird Sanctuary. The island has been voted one of the four best places for viewing spring migrations. It’s no wonder, when you realize the sanctuary has 137 acres of maritime forest, marshes and dunes and includes a swamp, lake and beach.
