Birds 



The bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus , ranges throughout the state as 

 a migrant, and formerly nested in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. Although bald 

 eagles are known to nest in Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, and South 

 Carolina, they rarely nest elsewhere in the Southeast. 



The Arctic peregrine falcon, Falco peregrinus tundrius , migrates through 

 Alabama on its way from the arctic tundra regions to southern South America, 

 and fairly numerous sightings (perhaps 30 per year) are made on the Fort 

 Morgan Peninsula (Dennis Jordan, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Jackson, MS, 

 11 March 1982; pers. comm.). Some individuals are believed to overwinter 

 along the Gulf coast and southern Florida. The falcon has been recently 

 reclassified from endangered to threatened (Federal Register, March 20, 

 1984). 



Bachman's warbler, Vermivora bachmanii , is extremely rare, if not 

 extinct. It may pass through Alabama in the spring on its migration from 

 Cuba to widespread localities in the Southeast.
