Beskrivning
The lakefront is a scenic 1.5 mile stretch of park bordering Lake Pontchartrain on the south side and older mixed commercial and residential areas on the north side. The park has a beach and playground on the western end with jettys that are often good for gulls, terns, cormorants and Brown Pelican. Spotted Sandpiper can often be found on the beach area. Live oaks in the same location are good for spring and fall migrants and usually Northern Shrike.
This area is best birded in fall through to the spring. Summer can be limited. Summer specialties are Eastern Kingbird, Purple Martin, Barn Swallow, and Brown-headed Cowbird. Winter has a good variety of ducks along with the year round birds.
Detaljer
Tillgänglighet
The site is located in Mandeville. Access is by car from U.S. Highway 190/Florida Street and turning South on either Girod or Jackson Ave. There is marked street side parking for the entire route. Additional parking near the estern end at a boat launch. Press P on the map for directions. There is no public transportation.
The lakefront can be explored on foot or by car. The best strategy for this site is start at one end and then by car do frequent stops to observe and listen. It may also be walked but is an "out and back" trail. Allow thirty minutes to an hour for observation although a thorough look with lots of activity can stretch to over two hours.

The lake front is a very popular and busy spot so birding earlyin the day and on week days is recommended. Be respectful of other users and, particularly, respect the privacy of the two children's playground areas.
