A special event takes place here in Jackson County in April. Some people are confused when they see Jackson County, MS assuming that it is around Jackson, MS. Jackson County is actually the easternmost county along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and borders Mobile County, AL. Through our fair county here runs the Pascagoula River, a natural migratory bird route, and home to river otters, alligators and a whole lot more.
The Pascagoula River Nature Festival is ongoing right now. There is something to do throughout this week and through the 20th of April in the cities of Moss Point, Gautier, Ocean Springs, Vancleave and Lucedale including talks, tours, food tasting and sooo much more.
You can read all about it at this site!

What a privilege it was to hear Pete Dunne, internationally-known ornithologist and author, and Director of the Cape May Bird Observatory, New Jersey. He spoke at an event this weekend and along with his exceptional birding skills, he's a truly entertaining speaker and friendly fellow!
Thanks to him for travelling the distance he did to speak to and teach those of us who love birds on the Coast.
