SUMMER MARSH BIRDS IN LOUISIANA

Pictured below are a few delightful summer birds found in our Louisiana marshes. If you haven't seen them I hope you see them soon.

An American Coot standing on one leg chilling out on the bank. Although these birds are numerous in the Winter there are still a few hanging around.
