Guntersville Peninsula (Site # 35, Northeast Loop) sits on a peninsula that juts into Guntersville Reservoir. The city has developed walking trails along the shoreline of the peninsula, providing public access to innumerable vantage points to search the water for bird life. The reservoir is at its best in winter, when waterfowl is plentiful, often supporting rafts of Red-breasted Mergansers, Lesser Scaup, Gadwalls, Ruddy Ducks as well as Common Loons and Horned Grebes. The former marina area on the northeast side of the peninsula has supported a number of unusual gulls, as well as Red-necked Grebes. Other species to look for during the year include Double-crested Cormorants, Ospreys, and Bald Eagle, all of which nest nearby.
