BIRD STUDY GROUP
Gosh,
It's Memorial Day Weekend and next to no posts about birds! Was a bit surprised
to find so many birds in a postage stamp sized site.

> Browns Creek Bottoms, Rapides, US-LA
> May 26, 2013 8:10 AM - 9:10 AM
> Protocol: Traveling
> 0.1 mile(s)
> Comments: Located about a mile west of Gardner at intersection of Browns
> Creek Road and LA 28 W. Very small US Forest Service site developed to
> protect endangered mussels in the creek. The site was badly abused by
> visitors so a gate was placed across the access road. Now, garbage is dumped
> next to the road as opposed to off the road along the creek. Winter brings
> piles of hog and deer guts and pieces. Spring-summer-fall brings fish guts
> and parts. Noticed that someone used a heavy duty ATV - 4-wheeler - to cross
> around one side of the gate and ride around along the creek since my last
> visit a couple of weeks ago.

> Still, this is a nice, pleasant place to bird and find birds characteristic
> of a creek bottom area in the piney woods in central Louisiana.
