Even though I didn't take many photos during my trip, I thought I would share some with you on this cool, dreary day . . .

4/23. Lake Martin.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird on nest.

Barred Owl (in the south, especially in swamps, Barred Owls are often active and conspicuous during the day).

The office for the week.

4/24. Atchafalya Basin Field Trip.

A visitor.

A lousy shot of brilliant the "Swamp Canary," or Prothonatory Warbler at Lake Martin.

A visit to the Rip Van Winkle Gardens in Jefferson Island.

A real crowd pleaser.

Peveto Woods. It might not look like much, but if you're a bird that has just flown non-stop over the Gulf of Mexico for a day and a half, it looks a whole lot like heaven!

Like to this Rose-breasted Grosbeak (another lousy shot that doesn't do justice to such a beautiful bird).

Hurricane damage in Cameron.

Cameron Prairie NWR.
