The Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is Again Developing its Next Bird Calendar for Louisiana



Again this year, the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program is developing the next Louisiana bird calendar to be distributed to birders for free. The 2009 calendar will focus on warblers presenting information on those species that nest across the state, information about migration, what warblers eat, warbler conservation, and of course - beautiful photographs of some of our most colorful friends.



Did you know that Louisiana's geographic position along major migratory pathways makes it an important stopover for transient warblers; that Louisiana's vast expanse of marsh, swamp, and bottomland hardwoods makes this area important to a number of nesting species of warblers; that thousands upon thousands of warblers considered temperate migrants spend their winter months here in Louisiana. They all depend on the productive habitats of Louisiana where they feed, rest, and in some cases nest.



However, these wetlands that sustain our unique culture and this tremendous productivity are in trouble. Since the early 1900's, too much of Louisiana's coast has been lost to a variety of factors.



To increase awareness and appreciation for Louisiana's natural habitats, we are developing again this year a calendar to be distributed to interested birders for free. This calendar is designed to promote awareness of Louisiana's land loss crisis - to educate people about the connection between that landscape and the migratory birds that use them.



To obtain a copy of this calendar for free, email us at richard at btnep.org and provide us with your name and address. In the past we have partnered with the American Birding Association to distribute the calendar to members of ABA, however this year we are working with individual ornithological societies, so ABA members are not guaranteed a copy of the calendar for 2009. So contact us directly. Don't put it off. Contact us now to ensure that you receive a copy of the 09 calendar.
