Skyline Wildlife Management Area (Site # 41, Northeast Loop) is an extensive tract of wild lands in northeastern Alabama, which hosts the state's only population of Ruffed Grouse. This carefully managed area also supports older hardwood forests utilized by nesting Cerulean Warblers.

A visit to the Skyline Wildlife Management Area is most rewarding in spring when Yellow-breasted Chats, Field Sparrows, Indigo Buntings, and Prairie Warblers can be heard singing throughout. With careful exploration and a little luck, spring visitors might also hear the drumming of the male Ruffed Grouse, although Wild Turkeys and Northern Bobwhites are much easier to find. This mosaic of regenerating habitats provides a tremendous diversity of bird species making it a special treat for birders.
