Numerous
species of birds have chose Louisiana for their migration
in the marshes of the Gulf of Mexico: pelicans, rosie
egrets, ducks. Being protected, you can approach them
easily to take exceptional photos: the flight of the
pelicans, the perched egret, etc.
Louisiana
also has a large number of mamals: raccoons, nutria,
armadillos, deer, and reptiles like the undeniable
alligator that can achieve the size of five meters
long. Don't confuse it with the crocodile: when it
closes its mouth, you can't see an alligator's teeth.
To fish the alligator we attach a chicken to a hook
above the surface of the water: the higher the chicken
the bigger the alligator you catch.
This
area is also famous for fishing: trout, sheephead,
flounder & and many others like the "redfish"
or the "catfish" that are nothing like our
redfish or catfish in France. The difference is mainly
in theirsize. The smallest one you catch here would
probably be your best personal record in France! Frank
who loves to fish in salt on non-salty water can provide
you with a room at his fishing cabin built on pilings
because the water can rise by 5 feet during a hurricane.
In his boat he can take you quickly to a good spot
to collect oysters or catch a good meal of fish.
