NOLA, Swamp Tour

Swamp Tour. We're staying at Bayou Segnette State Park just outside of New Orleans. It's a huge wildlife preserve and there are many tour companies operating wildlife tours. We decided to take an "airboat" tour. The airplane engine is really loud but the ride is super smooth.  You glide over what looks like plants growing in the ground but they're actually all growing on water.  The birds were abundant as we rode through the huge bayou.

This guy was the largest of the 5 we saw, at about 10 feet long.

This guy was ferocious looking, but fake...
