Beskrivning
Couturie Forest is a 50-acre wilderness area within New Orleans City Park. This former landfill is now a thriving native habitat with trails for hiking and birding. Couturie Forest is strategically located as it lies very near the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. This makes it a magnet for wandering migratory songbirds. Rising up in the center of Couturie is Laborde Mountain, the highest point in New Orleans, measuring 43 feet above sea level.
Waterfowl, songbirds, and everything in between. You'll see Wood Duck, Great Crested Flycatcher, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Painted Bunting, Orchard Oriole and Indigo Bunting, depending on the time of the year that you visit. This forest in the city has plenty of understory, towering trees, water, and fruit to attract all the birds.
