We will be going to the New Orleans Jazz Festival at the end of April....and staying a few days afterwards to do some birding. Anyone have any suggestions of some must see birding hotspots within perhaps ~100 miles of New Orleans. Please contact me off list at aceros at mindspring.com


although I would not turn my eyes away from any species, some of the target species that would be high on my list would be: Worm-eating warbler, Red-cockaded woodpecker, Brown-headed nuthatch, Yellow rail, Black rail.

Thanks for any suggestions.
