Opis
The Honey Island Swamp in Pearl River Wildlife Management Area is a flat wet area with a range of mixed hardwoods to cypress-tupelo swamp. The trail is a paved road that terminates at the Pearl River and passes over several small streams. Breeding highlights include White-eyed Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, Kentucky Warbler, Hooded Warbler, American Redstart, Northern Parula, Prothonotary Warbler, and Swainson's Warbler. Winter birding is also rewarding including Red-shouldered Hawk.
This is one of the most accessible sites for this range of habitats in the area.

The Honey Island Swamp area is just north of Slidell, Louisiana off of Interstate 59 Exit 5B. Take old U.S. 11 to the entrance. There is no public transport. It is a Wildlife Management Area and requires users to hold either a Louisiana Hunting/Fishing License or Wild Louisiana Stamp. There is a 5-day permit available to both residents and non-residents from the Lousiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website. A Self-Clearing Permit must be completed for each visit. They are available online and from the kiosk at the entrance.
This site is best birded by car with frequent stops at small bridges. There is also a boat launch and a side road with parking. Otherwise park briefly on the side of the road near the small bridges. Allow one to three hours for the visit.

Note that there is no designated parking by the bridges so be careful to not block the road. In addition do not go to the shooting range area to bird. Be aware that as you travel the road closer to Pearl River the mosquito pressure can be overwhelming. Fortunately there is abundaant good birding before that part is reached.
The overpass outside of the WMA has nesting Cliff Swallow in the summer so be alert when in that area.
