Cajun swamp tour, Lake Martin, LA


January 20, 2016

We spent a few hours on a slow moving shallow draft boat, observing nature and learning about the ecology of the area.  The trees are mostly swamp cypress and tupelos. 



The beauty of the area is spectacular. 




The weather was perfect for sunning.


 ...and warm enough for the alligators, a youngster on a log, and a mama in the water,  to enjoy.


 Our guide, Bob, was personable and very knowledgeable, and the bird life varied.






 Cormorants, egrets, several types of heron: great blue, black-crowned night, tricolour (no photo), little blue and several ibis.
