Russell Cave National Monument has been home to wildlife and man for thousands of years. This peaceful setting combines food, water, and shelter with tranquility and beauty. Following the elevated boardwalks and nature trails can lead to eastern woodland species such as Summer and Scarlet Tanagers, whose song is accompanied by the insect-like croaking of Yellow-billed Cuckoos. During migration, almost any eastern warbler or vireo is likely to make an appearance. In addition to its extensive birding, the national monument also offers an excellent interpretive facility detailing the lives of northern Alabama's early human inhabitants
