Cazan Lake
While I haven't made it up to Cazan Lake yet, I've gotten reports that both Great Egrets and Roseate Spoonbills are there in numbers. Cazan Lake has been one of our best places to photograph both of those birds as well as woodpeckers and Prothonotary Warblers. Last year things were late because of unseasonably cold weather in February. That did not happen this year. So things are on track for the April tour. I've secured the passes for the photo tour and rented the small cabin near the rookery, so we have a place to unwind and regroup as needed as we did last year.

Pelicans and Hurricane Damage
I've not gone down to photograph the Pelicans south of Houma this year due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Ida. Where I went was directly in the path of the hurricane, and I've decided not to go down there until things have gotten back to normal there. Things are still in recovery here in Houma, and I've been tending to the small stuff damaged at my house. Fortunately the storm passed far to the East of where we conduct the tours.
