Day 3: Lefleurs Bluff State Park, Grand Isle
- Woke up at Lefleurs Bluff SP campground and walked several trails.
- Lefleurs Bluff SP Highlights: No lifer birds but got the trip's best look of Carolina Wrens, saw a huge Golden Silk Orbweaver plus another sort of lifer.
Decided to leave the boat landing area as my first wild gator turned and started to slowly drift across the river in my direction. :)
- Drive to Grand Isle was pretty smooth and quite interesting visually. Saw a million places along the freeway I wish I could have stopped to scope for birds.
- Got to my inn and decided to check the marina out back. Lifers aplenty!
- Grand Isle Mariana Highlights: Up close looks at Laughing Gulls, a Ruddy Turnstone, Brown Pelicans and also saw Least Terns and Royal Terns (all lifers).
- Also went over to the east portion of Grand Isle Beach.
- Grand Isle Beach Highlights: Magnificent Frigatebirds (lifer), first Loggerhead Shrikes of the year.
- Quick stop at the supermarket before hanging out at the hotel.
- Improvised a spoon.
- Watched sunset and last birds about the marina.
