Decatur’s Bird Migration

For this poster, I chose to feature a natural phenomenon that takes place every year in Decatur, Alabama. Each year, over 14,000 sandhill cranes migrate to Decatur’s Wheeler Wildlife Refuge for the winter. Their arrival draws bird lovers from near and far to witness the beauty and majesty of the cranes, which led to the creation of an annual event. The Festival of the Cranes takes place in early to mid-January and is typically a three day event with indoor and outdoor activities.
