Here is the number for the LAWF poaching line:
1-800-442-2511
Copy it down and put in your wallet, field guide, purse, glove =
compartment of your car, etc., but keep the number handy. If you are at =
Lake Martin and see a boat going into the restricted area, try to get =
the numbers off the side of the boat. Those with cameras, take pictures =
as proof.
I hate being asked to do something and not being provided with an =
address or phone number.

Lake Martin, Western St. Martin Parish, Louisiana - Feb. 10, 2001 -
Jay Huner
Visited eastern side of Lake Martin with Dr. Tom Sherry's Ecology
Class from about 12:30-1:30 PM. This was not a real effort to bird and
was in the middle of the day so the list is a bit "light". Weather was
cold and windy and the sky was cloudy.
I saw "swallows" on the west side of the lake and assumed them to be
Tree Swallows. I later found at least 6 Purple Martins feeding near
the spillway on the north end of the lake.
There was no evidence of "intruders" into the rookery area but then,
we only saw about 10 Great Egrets in the rookery. There was constant
sight-seeing activity along the road despite the absence of gators,
nutria, and nesting waders.

Thanks to your postings on LABIRD, I've been urging my brother to put =
his martin gourds back up. He e-mailed me Wed. and thanked me for =
urging him on. The birds appeared the next day after he'd put some =
gourds up Tues. I just saw a pair of the martins on the gourd hangers.
This cold front has the birds flocking back to the feeders in large =
numbers. I wasn't home enough today to see anything unusual. One =
purple finch was munching on sunflower seeds. I'll keep an eye out =
tomorrow to see if there's anything else new on the property.

Hey folks,
Joseph Smith and I surveyed Fourchon Beach west to Belle Pass this =
morning. We did not find any plovers of any species. There were no =
exciting gulls on the beach either.
We did observe a flock of 40 or so N. Gannets (mostly immature =
birds) feeding S of Belle Pass. Also of interest was a flock of 11 =
Yellow-crowned Night-Herons along LA 1.
The state park was still overflowing with Yellow-rumps; a quick =
"pish" would result in hundreds of chip notes. I think that recent =
estimates of tens of thousands may be very good approximations...
Good birding.
