Birding in Alabama: Marion, Alabama Part I. Marion Fish Hatchery and Perry Lake

Published in 1972

Marion is the county seat of Perry County in the Upper Coastal Plain of Alabama, approximately 75 miles from both Birmingham and Montgomery and 55 miles from Tuscaloosa. This part I will cover the U.S. Fish Hatchery on Alabama Route 175 and Perry Luke, which is a backwater of the Cahaba River containing a cypress swamp to the rear (and east) of the hatchery. Part II will cover Lakeland Farms south of the city.
