Birding

Nature enthusiasts and photographers will find some of the finest birding opportunities in North America right here in St. Martin Parish. Lake Martin, the Atchafalaya Basin, and the Bayou Teche offer prime locations for birdwatching, with diverse habitats ranging from expansive shorelines to rich bottomland hardwood forests. These diverse landscapes host over 300 bird species, including Roseate Spoonbills, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Great Blue Herons, and more.
