The Friends of the Bon Secour NWR
ABOUT
The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge consists of 7,000 acres of wildlife habitat lying directly west of Gulf Shores, Alabama on the Fort Morgan peninsula of south Alabama. The peninsula is that finger of land defining the eastern border of the mouth of Mobile Bay. The refuge was created by congress in 1980 to serve as a rest-and-rehabilitation landfall for non-game birds migrating south in the fall and north in the spring. The migration paths from Bon Secour lead south to lower Florida, the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America.
