The Mississippi Coast
Birding along the coast of Mississippi has been covered in detail by Judith Toups and Jerome
Jackson in their topic
Birds and Birding on the Mississippi Coast
, published by the University
Press of Mississippi. Their topic goes into explicit particulars about birding locations in Han-
cock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties; details as specific as which roads in particular subdivi-
sions to bird are included.
The purpose of this topic is to give a general guide to the more accessible, public areas for
bird watching over a two-state area. Therefore, I do not attempt to get as specific on the areas
along the Mississippi coast. However, I have included the areas that I think will be the most
productive for birds and the most accessible to the traveler. For those who wish to spend more
time birding along the Mississippi coast or for those who live there, Ms. Toups and Mr. Jack-
son's topic is highly recommended. The topic is hardbound and retails for around twenty dol-
lars; the address for the publisher is: University Press of Mississippi, Jackson, MS 39211.
