My friend Ginger and I took a day trip out to Lake Martin/Cypress Island Preserve. Ginger’s favorite bird is the roseate spoonbill and we’d heard there were some nesting there. Unfortunately for us, we didn’t see very many, and the ones we did see were either flying overhead, or far in the distance. Nonethless, we did see bunch of birds! I’ll post a few more photos later…
This American Bittern, kept licking its chops… with much patience and luck, I was able to get this shot with the tongue visible! Lake Martin/Cypress Preserve, Breaux Bridge, LA, 2009-Mar-29
