LAbird,

With such an unprecedented snowfall (8.25 inches at my place in Sunset!), all kinds of interesting bird observations must be out there. Share what you've been seeing.

The most interesting observation at my place was 4 Rusty Blackbirds devouring black oil sunflower. Also, a Brown Thrasher visited the seed feeder, which I think may be a first for me (at least in south LA). A little group of Common Grackles briefly stopped by, which also don't regularly come to my seed feeders. One quick visit by a Dark-eyed Junco, which I haven't had at the feeder yet this winter. Most of my winter hummingbirds are accounted for - I have a few each of Black-chins and Rufous, and no one new has arrived as far as I can tell. Maxed out at 14 Northern Cardinals and about 50 American Goldfinches in view at once. No Purple Finches or Pine Siskins, but this isn't over yet.

Hope everyone is safe and warm.

LAbird,

Tonight (Jan 19) at 7pm, I will be offering a webinar on Audubon's Urban Native Greens project, which seeks to expand the availability of native plants, add more native plants into the urban landscape, and examine how birds respond to native and non-native plants in our environment. The webinar is being co-sponsored by Audubon Delta, Baton Rouge Audubon Society, Orleans Audubon Society, and Sierra Club Delta Chapter.

This project has a strong community science component, and we're especially interested in nest monitoring data on Carolina Wrens, Carolina Chickadees, Purple Martins, and yes, of course Prothonotary Warblers.

Come learn about what we're doing, what we've learned so far, and how you can get involved. The webinar will be recorded in case you can't make it.

Register here:


Happy birding,

The 9th Palmetto Island Christmas Bird Count was held January 3 2025. The count circle is centered at Palmetto Island State Park just south of Abbeville in Vermilion Parish.
The species count this year was a new record 165 species, well above the 8 year average of 153 .
Bird numbers were about average, except low numbers of raptors and ducks were seen.
We have 3 large private access tracts and boat only area out of Intracoastal city.
The circle essentially is an intersection of several terrain types, accounting for this steady species counts.
From ‘urban’ Abbeville, to ag fields, hardwoods at the park, Cajun prairies and the Cameron like port of Intracoastal City. It is easy to see why the count always has a good species count.
All 9 groups had ‘exclusives’, a function of each group having its own little ecosystem.
Interestingly, we had a total of 45 exclusives, certainly a count high. I guess this means we came close to having 0-45 less species?
With 3 new birds to the count, the master list is now at 202 species.

So:
9 areas, 26 field volunteers, 3 feeders
New to the count: Golden Winged Warbler, Marbled Godwit, Yellow Throated Warbler

Best of the rest: Black Bellied Plover, Least Bittern, Western Kingibrd, Bronzed Cowbird, NRW Swallow
Lark Sparrow, Indigo Bunting, YH Blackbird, Yellow Throated Warbler, 3 Hummigbird species, 18 waterfowl, Lesser Black Backed Gull

Worst misses: not many….Gadwall, Junco, B-W Warbler, Barn Owl

High Count records: Barred Owl(22), YR Warbler(1326), RC Kinglet(299), E.Phoebe(210), Anhinga(66),
.
Noticeably Low Counts: White Fronted Goose, Ring Necked Duck, Pied Billed Grebe, White Winged Dove, Woodcock, Gull Billed Tern, Sharp Shinned Hawk, Red Tailed Hawk, Screech Owl, BH Vireo, Killdeer

The White Lake, Lacassine-Thornwell ("Lac-Thorn"), and Sweet Lake-Cameron
Prairie ("Sweet-Cam") CBC circles are located relatively close together,
are all dominated by rice/crawfish and freshwater marsh, and (as in most
years) the counts themselves occurred within a 6-day period this year
(14-20 Dec). As such, a single, grand summary seems appropriate.

The White Lake CBC produced a total of 148 species, well above the 14-year
average of 142 species, and Lac-Thorn resulted in 154 species, which is
just shy of the 23-year average of 155 species. We had great participation
on both of those counts again this year (about 20 people for each), which
is critical to cover the count circles adequately and provide the most
accurate snapshot of the bird life (and maximize the number of species
found). Sweet-Cam, on the other hand, had only eight participants and, as a
result, we only turned up 130 species (on a count that can surpass 150
species when participation is adequate). It was a great year for rarities
on these counts... White Lake produced VAUX'S SWIFT, COUCH'S KINGBIRD, and
CASSIN'S KINGBIRD; Lac-Thorn produced additional COUCH'S AND CASSIN'S
KINGBIRDS; and Sweet-Cam turned up a male EURASIAN WIGEON (all pending LBRC
review, of course). Additional highlights included Groove-billed Ani (White
Lake), Wilson's Phalarope (White Lake), Horned Grebe (Lac-Thorn),
Swainson's Hawk (both White Lake and Lac-Thorn), Least Flycatcher
(Lac-Thorn), Ash-throated Flycatcher (3 on White Lake, 4 on Sweet-Cam),
Great Kiskadee (White Lake where annual, and Lac-Thorn), Western Kingbird
(6 on White Lake, 1 on Sweet-Cam), Bell's Vireo (White Lake and Lac-Thorn),
Cave Swallow (Sweet-Cam), Grasshopper Sparrow (Sweet-Cam), Harris's Sparrow
(White Lake and Lac-Thorn), Prairie Warbler (Sweet-Cam), and Indigo Bunting
(Sweet-Cam). 105 Fulvous Whistling-Ducks at White Lake and 10 Marbled
Godwits at Lac-Thorn were also noteworthy.

A couple of species jump out as being in good numbers this year, at least
in these three count circles. Vermilion Flycatcher occurred at all-time
high numbers (designated 'high counts') for White Lake (30 birds) and
Lac-Thorn (26 birds), and tied the all-time high count for Sweet-Cam (20
birds). Tyrannids, in general, were in good numbers this year, with the
three counts averaging 6 species each (typical averages range 3-4 species
per count), for a total of 9 species among the three counts this year
(typically 5-7 species collectively). This year's Loggerhead Shrike numbers
are encouraging. There were no 'high count' designations (because shrikes
used to occur in the hundreds (!) on some of these counts, 15-20 years
ago), but shrike numbers were up notably and consistently on all three
counts this year: 27 at White Lake (highest number in 9 years), 33 at
Lac-Thorn (highest in 7 years), and 74 at Sweet-Cam (highest in 8 years).
And Limpkins are still increasing at White Lake (from 25 last year to 53
this year) and Lac-Thorn (from 11 last year to 50 this year), but not at
Sweet-Cam (1 last year, 0 this year).

And a few low-lights... Sharp-shinned Hawk occurred at an all-time low on
both White Lake (0 reported... never previously missed) and Lac-Thorn (1
reported); and only 2 Sharpies were reported on Sweet-Cam. Other notable
low numbers were for Forster's Tern, which was missed on all three counts,
and Red-tailed Hawk, which had all-time low counts on both Lac-Thorn and
Sweet-Cam. There were many other low, or near low, counts that I will not
discuss. Many species simply occur annually (or not) in much, much lower
numbers than when these CBCs started between 14 and 23 years ago. To
explore CBC data trends at the state scale or larger scales, check out
Audubon's impressive CBC Trend Viewer:


I want to extend THANKS to landowners who provided access to their
properties, LDWF's White Lake WCA staff, Lacassine NWR, and ALL
participants who came out to one, two, or all three of these counts: Alexis
Alario, Chuck Battaglia, Ivy Bonin, Charlotte Chehotsky, Randy Frederick,
Andy From, Emma Garcia, Thomas Garcia, Deanna Griggs, Gordon Griggs, Claire
Hanson, Tom Hanson, Lynn Hathaway, Jude Heinen, Andy Hollerman, Lynn
Hollerman, Cheryl Huner, Crystal Johnson, Erik Johnson, Marybeth Lima, Mike
Musumeche, Mac Myers, John Parker, Shelby Richard, Esme Rosen, Michael
Seymour, Mary Tutwiler, David Vander Pluym, Philip Wallace, and Melvin
Weber. I look forward to seeing you all again next December!

Best wishes and Happy New Year.

Hello LAbirders,

I'm pleased to share the results of the 16th New Iberia CBC, held on December 21, 2024. We had 20 participants (4 more than the previous record) split into 5 parties to cover a lot of ground. All teams contributed a nice suite of birds bringing us to the highest species count ever for this CBC at 134, beating the previous high species tally of 129!

New species to the count included ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD, Stilt Sandpiper, and Glossy Ibis.

Other highlights included Ruby-throated Hummingbird (5th record), Black-chinned Hummingbird (3rd record), American Avocet (3rd record), Crested Caracara (2nd record), Vermilion Flycatcher (5th record), Henslow's Sparrow (7th record), Lincoln's Sparrow (4th record), and Painted Bunting (3rd record).

High counts included Wood Duck (149), Long-billed Dowitcher (70), Lesser Yellowlegs (42), Least Sandpiper (28), Glossy/White-faced Ibis (1398), Brown Pelican (21), Crested Caracara (2), Eastern Phoebe (88), Vermilion Flycatcher (3), and LeConte's Sparrow (14).

Only a couple of low counts, which were American Pipit (5) and Red-winged Blackbird (824).

I'm grateful to my co-compiler, Susan Hester Edmunds, for organizing counters and private locations to access. All of us are also thankful for Mary Tutwiler who hosted a wonderful post-count compilation gathering.

Happy birding,

Hi, Jed,
I don't know if they get these emails, but Wanda and Michael Beelman bird this area often, and they have been great help to me when looking for loons and waterfowl and even owls in the area in years past.
As Jody indicated, the area has been highly developed.? But before construction was completed, my husband and I would drive through the area to bird, and we have driven through the development a few times since to try our luck.
I believe the last time I birded the area, I went through the new development since the houses have been built, but I was able to pull over and park near the playground areas where I could get out of my car and look for waterfowl in the ponds.??
There is also a canal with a small road that goes behind the gorilla fireworks place, near the interstate, and dead ends at a few houses.? Waders and waterfowl in the canal and osprey atop poles, as well as small birds flitting across the road back and forth, as it is a low travel area, can sometimes be seen.? At the dead end, you may be able to walk to the former pay pier, though I have not tried it myself.
There is also an apartment complex that you can drive to near that canal road and there is a small canal along side it, last time I went, that held waterfowl and waders.

Thank you for bringing up this topic, as it has been a puzzle for me as well, and I look forward to hearing feedback from other birders.? It is one of our many unexplored areas that hopefully will be preserved for more to enjoy.
Happy birding all!
Terri Skelton

This spot has been massively developed recently. I've included a labeled
map with some of the remaining spots you can check out.


1. The Harbor Center - public parking and you can walk around their
grounds to look for birds in the pond, which is surprising good for the
area.
2. The fields - not really public, but easy roadside birding and nothing
here. will likely soon be developed, but have been decent for migrating
shorebirds in the past
3. The canals - You can park and walk along the road to bird, but it's
noisy from the interstate. The canals sometimes have BCNH, which is nice.
4. The lakefront - there is a tiny piece of lakefront that's still
publicly accessible here. Maybe the only place in Slidell that it is. There
is a fishing pier that previously charged for access, but you can still
park and access pieces of empty lakefront here.
5. The big ponds - nowhere to park, but sometimes good ducks. Much less
access year by year.
6. The neighborhood pond - a big curb to park on and lots of ducks
congregate in this cove. Have to drive through the neighborhood to get
here, but the neighborhood is open access.

Hi Jed,

What I have done when there is bird E Howze Beach Rd. You can go down to
an old pier and walk the field + look to see what is in the lake. I also
have birded the lake behind the Harbor Center since there are sometimes
waterfowl in there. I would also be interested if there are some better
places to check out in the area. I also see a lot of observations and pins
from all over the area. A lot of it is neighborhoods or residential. What
I listed was the only place I found that I could get out and look around.

Please mark your calendars for our next program at the East Baton Rouge
Parish Main Library on Wednesday, January 29th.

PROGRAM TITLE: Bird's-Eye View: Designing a Collision-Free Feathered Future

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
Bird collisions with human-made structures are a growing concern, with
millions of birds lost annually in the United States alone. Ellen Ogden,
Louisiana based artist, muralist, and window painter, will lead this
presentation about the critical issue of bird collisions with windows. In
this program, we will learn about the staggering impact these collisions
have on bird populations, methods for prevention and ecologically friendly
policies. Ogden’s research forms the foundation for an artistic
installation proposal at the East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library,
envisioned as a model for retrofitting at-risk buildings and serving as a
hub for education and outreach. Creativity and conservation collide in this
presentation...so birds won't.

The evening will also include Dr. Phil Stouffer, Lee F. Mason Professor at
the LSU School of Renewable Natural Resources, who will present insights
from a four-year project documenting bird collisions across the LSU campus.

PRESENTERS:
Ellen Ogden, Louisiana based artist, muralist, and window painter

Dr. Phil Stouffer, Lee F. Mason Professor, School of Renewable Natural
Resources Louisiana State University/LSU AgCenter

LOCATION: East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library on Goodwood Blvd; Room 102
(first floor)

DATE: Wednesday, Jan 29th

TIME: 7:00 - 8:00 PM (in-person social 6:30-7:00)

Although we encourage everyone to attend in person, we do offer a virtual
option via Zoom.

LAbird and HUMNET,

You all are keeping me busy! There continues to be a steady stream of winter hummingbird reports with over 300 birds reported thus far. It's surprisingly sparse for the "Rocky Mountain species" (Calliope and Broad-tailed), but above average for Black-chinned and Broad-billed. Still no Allen's, but I'll bet there are a couple lurking out there still being called "Rufous/Allen's." The young males will get easier to pick out as they work through their winter molt.

Please continue to report your winter hummer observations to me for recording in the LA Winter Hummingbird Database, providing the following information:
- Your name
- Your address (town only is acceptable)
- First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking other birds, the date it was observed)
- Species
- Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
- Sex (Male, female, unknown)
- Whether banded, when and by whom
- Send photos if available to confirm above details

Also, please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible, when the bird leaves.

Happy hummingbirding!

Hi Seth,

Very nice documentation. I agree with the IDs.

Cheers,
Erik

Dear Erik:

Here is a link to my eBird checklist with photos from Tuesday, 3 December 2024: . Some show purple gorget feathers, confirming our belief that one of these immature males is a black-chinned hummingbird (I suspect that these are the same 2 hummingbirds reported 19 November 2024). Some photos show red gorget feathers, confirming our belief that one of these immature males is a ruby-throated hummingbird.

Thanks,

Seth

Subject: Hummingbirds at NOBG today - my first report for the 2024-2025 season at NOBG



Dear Erik:



This morning Mark Meunier and I saw and I photographed two immature male hummingbirds. This is my first report for the 2024-2025 season at NOBG.



Here is a link to our eBird checklist with photos:



#1

* Mark Meunier and Seth Nehrbass

* New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park, in the Butterfly Garden

* FO 19 November 2024

* Black-chinned hummingbird

* Immature

* Male



#2

* Mark Meunier and Seth Nehrbass

* New Orleans Botanical Garden at City Park, in the Hummingbird Garden (this one is a rules follower)

* FO 19 November 2024

* Ruby-throated hummingbird

* Immature

* Male



Mark may be able to revise the first-observed date.



Dear Nancy:

Please let us know if you would like to try to catch and band these. The black-chinned used the feeder today and the ruby-throated was near another feeder.

Thanks,

Seth

LOS is offering another fantastic field trip, 1 February, 2025, not previously listed in the Winter newsletter. Come along with John Nelson as we take a trip beside the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish. This will be an all day trip. Up to 10 participants. Carpooling is recommended.

We will meet at 7:30 am in the Breaux Mart parking lot, (7902 LA-23, Belle Chasse, LA 70037 <,+%287902+LA-23,+Belle+Chasse,+LA+70037?entry=gmail&source=g>, on the right just past the intersection with Hwy 406).
From here we will caravan downriver to our first stop, West Ravenna Road.
This a good spot for Western Kingbirds, Say’s Phoebe, Vermillion Flycatcher, Myiarchus flycatchers as well as a variety of raptors including Swainson’s Hawk. Groove-billed Ani is also a possibility.

Next stop is Diamond. There are often Scissor-tails and Western Kingbirds on the fences and power lines around the baseball field, and frequently a Vermilion Flycatcher is in the same area. With any luck, maybe a Cassin’s Kingbird! The woods just to the south of the ball field and along the pipeline right-of-way are good areas for Brown-crested and Ash-throated Flycatcher.

Buras Boat Launch is next on the agenda. Over the back levee, the surrounding marsh is a good spot for Seaside and Nelson’s Sparrows, Marsh Wrens, rails and ducks.

The day will end at historic Fort Jackson. We will bird the oaks surrounding the fort, looking for wintering foraging flocks. Always a good chance of finding something rare here. The Mississippi River levee and batture can also yield some wintering warblers plus other goodies such as Myiarchus flycatchers, Barn, Great Horned and Eastern Screech Owls.

Prepare for some walking at each stop. There will be portalets with a washing station at Diamond and full bathrooms at the Fort Jackson visitor’s center.

To attend the field trip, you must be a current LOS member and register through Melissa Weaver via email at melissaweaverbird@... <mailto:melissaweaverspeech@...>. Trip registrations will be on a first-received email basis; Melissa will confirm your registration, so if you don’t receive a confirmation from her check the spelling of her email address. Registration for this trip begins 1 January, 8am.

Thanks!
