Birding in the City of New Orleans

I’ve had Arlo Guthrie’s song in my head for the last day because yesterday, after a nice trip into the city to visit the Museum of Art, we birded part of City Park (Coutuerie Forest) where we saw some nice birds.

Several Brown pelicans were just upstream
Along with a shy White Ibis
We never would have spotted this Anhinga if he had not flown in to perch and dry his wings.

City Park is as magical and unique as the city of New Orleans – and the birds like it too.
