One bird!
Two birds!
Red bird!
Blue bird!
How’s that to whet your appetite?
Okay, now I’m going to ask my birding friend Kim to mouse over each one and make sure I have them labeled correctly. And then, there are about two more good birding posts to come and a couple of birds I need her to identify positively for us!
Can’t wait to share the rest of the pics with you!

After four hours of fishing HARD in the rolling waves and brisk breezes, “getting skunked” is very hard to swallow. If it hadn’t been for this fellow, I would have gotten the skunk. today. With the catching so slow, I decided at noon to give my arms a rest, grab my lunch, and just vegetate…
If you’ve ever seen Cajun Justice, then you have actually seen some of the areas on my Wetland Tour route. So, we headed up to the “haunted swamp” from one episode, which is also the same swamp where the alligator poachers got busted with the help of a big alligator head decoy. I showed them the spot where the poachers jumped out of the boat and took off running. And the idea hit me, “Hey, I could start doing Cajun Justice Tours!”
Open my kitchen drawer and there, nestled among the hot pads, koozies, and clothes pins, you just might see . . . three little plastic babies. And then you would scratch your head like Stan Laurel and do a double take, mentally asking yourself the question, “What in the world are THOSE for?” Unless, of…
Recently, some of us bloggers played a game of tag. Once tagged, we had to post 7 weird things about ourselves. Well, I just want to tell all you of who commented or emailed me about being afraid to cut my hair. It’s not a drastic change, but I went to the “beauty shop” (old…
Why in the world, you might ask, do intelligent people travel hundreds of miles to see these birds as they arrive on the coast of Louisiana? The best reason I can come up with is because it’s their only chance to see as many as 400 bird species in one small geographic location before they…
Happy Spring everyone! It seems down the bayou that we jump straight from winter into glorious spring almost overnight. Last week, while walking my front yard, I noticed all these little insignificant wildflowers that are only seen once–before the grass starts getting cut weekly. After that, they don’t get big enough to bloom. I thought…
wow, what beautiful birds. Ive heard you talk about tangers, are they very big? That indobunting…does he stick around there or continue northward?
Ive seen some bluebirds already, getting ready for the hummers. Plz let me know when you spot them, Ill start making & hanging my nectar. Cant wait to see what you will post next.
The bluebird is beautiful. I never saw so many different birds than when we were in Belize. Our tour guide said that the birdwatchers were the most enthusiastic tourists he’d ever seen……except for me because I was taking NOTES as he talked!! HA. Have you ever had someone take notes on your tours? How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful natural area, but as you point out it requires wise stewardship.
I like your little rhyme!

Think we call those scarlet tanager. One zipped around Fourchon while I was visiting the young’un who has a camp at Du. They will be here around end of May.
PURTY BIRDIE!
SM….I live in Abita Springs, on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, and we’ve had hummers for the past month or so.; ditto the blue birds. Several of the hummers are repeat customers from last year. They stop and “hum” right in my face when their feeder gets low.
Cuz…..as usual, amazing pictures!
