The names read like a rouge's gallery. Camille, Hugo, Andrew, Danny, Opal, Georges, and the list goes on. The memories are not fond. Hurricane season in Lower Alabama, and everywhere else I suppose, officially begins on June 1, and ends on November 30. As the dog days of summer roll around the likelihood of tropical depressions increases and depressions breed big storms.
Birders probably do have fond memories of chasing rare birds on the heels of a hurricane.
Birders often view these opportunities as a birding bonanza, and they certainly will add remarkable entries to a life, state, or local list. I might have done it once or twice myself. Opal plowed through my hometown of Greenville, Alabama a few years ago. The old gal made a big mess in my yard and all over town. We had no power for a week and couldn't even get the car out of the driveway for almost three days.
