Even if you are not a birder, a trip to Audubon Pa rk out on St. Charles Avenue to see the rookery is a real treat. Best times are the matin season -- April to July. You'll get a good view of Great Egret(large wing span), Cattle Egret, Black Headed Night Herons, Tri-color Herons and more. The rookery is an island about 75 feet from the shore (viewing area) a pair of binoculars can get you a good view, but you can see a lot with your bare eyes. See this My turn to go first and on the right under "Labels" look for and click on "birds" for more.
