Northwest Louisiana has many opportunities for the nature photographer. My backyard and surrounding woods has yielded many great nature moments, including white-tailed deer, a family of red foxes, numerous migrating bird species each spring and fall such as Hooded Warblers and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, plus other birds and butterflies all year round.

Public areas include Bickham Dickson park in Caddo Parish, especially for birds. Also Bodcau Wildlife Management Area, Soda Lake Wildlife Management Area, Lock and Dam #5 on the Bossier Parish side and anywhere up and down the Red River from a boat.

Most of my nature photography time is spent at the Red River National Wildlife Refuge where I've been documenting the many species of birds, mammals, insects and plants found on the Refuge. The headquarters Unit is located just south of the Jimmie Davis bridge in Bossier City. This 460 acre Unit is open to the general public by walking in from the main gate. However, a multi-million dollar visitor's center is in the works and is expected to be completed by 2011. The visitor's center will be a great educational opportunity to visit and learn about Louisiana's newest National Wildlife Refuge. About 20 miles south of LSUS is the Bayou Pierre Unit of the Red River National Wildlife Refuge. This unit is open to the public and has several trails open year round. Hunting is allowed, so keep that in mind if you choose to visit. Walking along the levee can give some great chances for photographing Northern Harriers and Red-tailed Hawks.
