Directions: From the intersection of US Hwy 31 and AL Hwy 67 in Decatur, AL, drive south on Hwy 31 3.5 miles through Flint City to Red bank Road. Turn left onto Red Bank Road, just before the railroad overpass, and drive 1.0 miles east on Red Bank Road, cross Flint Creek on Red Bank Bridge, then immediately turn left into the Dancy Bottoms access area. The walking trail begins at the small parking area aside Flint Creek.

Description: Dancy Bottoms is an excellent area to visit during winter migration when dozens of warblers, vireos, tanagers, thrushes, orioles and grosbeaks fill the trees. The area is also good for breeding species, including Barred Owl and Red-headed Woodpecker. Louisiana Waterthrush can be heard singing along the trail as early as March, and Kentucky Warbler, Wood Thrush, and Acadiam Flycatcher soon join them. The potential for this area to turn up unexpected species is very high with Lincoln Sparrows, Mourning and Connecticut Warblers all recorded recently. Warbler enthusiasts should check close to the ground late in the spring.
