Observation details
Spotted in a narrow swale (Blind Bayou) formed between two old point bars of the Mississippi River. There was a profusion of white birds that suddenly appeared through the heavy vegetation on the western side of the road but there were enough openings to I.D. and count many, though not all of the individuals present. Apparently, continuing drought has reduced the water level in the bayou, thereby concentrating the remaining fish and the birds were cleaning up. When it became obvious that our presence was spooking the birds, we left.
