Local Birdingpal Contacts

Local Birdwatchers
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

Monroe, LA is in the northeastern part of Louisiana. We are fortunate to have several National Wildlife Refuges and State Wildlife Management Areas in this area. We have a good variety of birds here during all seasons. A group of birders goes out every Saturday and would welcome interested birders to join us.

S Venable New Orleans Anytime English/Russian
Coastal Louisiana has LOTS of waterbirds, wading birds, shorebirds, etc. I'm an avid birder, but have lived here less than one year, and am still figuring the place out. As a college professor (in social sciences, not biology), my schedule is quite flexible.
