Birding at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge

It was now time for this bird nerd to bird having attended the opening to the 62nd Annual Juried Competition at the Masur Museum in Monroe Louisiana. I love fine art photography, but my passion will and always will be in nature photography. Competing in juried competitions provides me with an excuse to explore America. In my mind it’s a win win!

The museum staff gave me the heads up that the Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge was the place to go, so I went. Boy was it cold! But I had hand warmers so it wasn’t too much of an ordeal. The bird photography below was from my recent outing and news flash! I even stumbled upon a most photogenic Golden-crowned Kinglet!!!
