Hi All,
We began the day in the Police Station getting fingerprinted. No, we didn't get arrested, we needed the prints for our Park Service background check. After 7,000 hours of volunteering they decided to check on us;-).
In the afternoon we visited Atchafalaya National Wildlife Refuge. Lots of nice birds as we walked a couple of short trails.
Next we went to Lake Martin, described as the second largest wading bird rookery in the country. We saw hundreds of nesting great egrets as well as little blue heron, roseate spoonbill, black crowned night-heron and hundreds of white ibis that flew too deep into the swamp to be seen on the nests.
In addition to the birds, we were treated to a fabulous sunset.
This is a view over the swampy end of the lake.

Nesting pair of great egrets. No, it's not a forest fire but the sunset
Here's a better view of the sunset
