I’ve been pretty busy with work, but I have gotten a few trips out. These are photos from the final birding class field trip to Bayou Sauvage. Some are ok, but mostly they are a record of some of the birds we saw – it was quite dreary and overcast for most of the trip.

Bald Eagle I got there early and was lucky enough to see this eagle perched in the distance, Bayou Sauvage, New Orleans, LA, 2009-Mar-28

There were also Black-necked Stilt wading in the water near the parking lot. Later they also flew over, but I didn’t get a photo. Bayou Sauvage, New Orleans, LA, 2009-Mar-28
