Birdwatching

Want to see soaring eagles?

How about Herons building their nests or Cardinals & Blue Jays flying throughout the forest? Rare amphibians? Playful foxes? Madison County has it all! Enjoy bird watching at its best at the Great Swamp Conservancy and Nelson Swamp Unique Area or view deer, turkey, and other animals in their natural habitats like the Charles Baker State Forest.
