You could try Louis Armstrong Park, which is just across the street from the
northwest side of the Quarter, so reachable on foot. Also, the St Charles
Streetcar runs to the southwest for several miles, passing Tulane University and
the Zoo, and there are some open areas with trees out there. The Quarter itself
is quite built out, not much there except for pigeons in front of the church on
the main square.
You could start with those, although someone who knows New Orleans better than
as a visitor could probably give you more suggestions.

I'll be in New Orleans for meetings in a couple of weeks. I'm staying in the
middle of the French Quarter and will be car-less. Any suggestions on
locations for birding would be greatly appreciated. I'll have an afternoon
evening and a morning to spend padding my Louisiana list.
Thanks for any insight anyone can share!
Chuck

Hello everyone,
every once in awhile, someone emails me to find out if there is a field guide to
NYC's birds or natural spaces and now, at long last, I can say that there is
such a field guide, and I recommend it, too;
http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2008/05/field_guide_to_the_natural_wor.php
you have to check out my review of this little gem since no trip to NYC will be
complete without it!

Friends of Point Pelee provides daily updates of sightings within Point
Pelee National Park during the Festival of Birds May 3 through May 19, 2008
Another night of southerly winds brought a few new birds. And luckily a few
of the good ones from yesterday remained.
The number of birds continues to be moderate but there are a few good
pockets here and there throughout the Park.
At the Tip
A Little Gull was a flyby at the tip. People noted a Northern
Mockingbird. A minor reverse movement of birds into the southerly winds
produced a few hummingbirds and several Scarlet Tanagers among others seen.
In Tilden Woods
Once again a male Cerulean Warbler was located. Also there were reports
of Hooded , Tennessee Warbler and Louisiana Waterthrush. Also reported, a
Gray-cheeked Thrush and Philadelphia Vireo.
The Redbud Trail (off Woodland Nature Trail)
Especially in the cedars near post 17, a number of species were noted.
Cape May, Pine and Black-throated Blue Warbler, a White-eyed Vireo, and an
Ovenbird.
Woodland Nature Trail
A Prothonotary Warbler continues to be found near the first bridge going
south, between posts 16 and 15. Also see there, Rusty Blackbird,
Northern Parula and Northern Waterthrush. Also a Louisiana Waterthrush
was reported closer to Post #10.
Cemetery
A pair of Yellow-breasted Chat were seen there today.
Good Birding,

Subject: =?windows-1252?Q?Re:_New_Orleans_French_Quarter_Birding_information?=
From: =?windows-1252?Q?Robert_McNab?= <wahooking(AT)HOTMAIL.COM>
Date: 7 May 2008 8:20pm
I was in New Orleans just a few weeks ago (mid April) as a tourist and was
able to bird a little bit in the evenings near the French Quarter. Not
much around there as others have said, except Laughing Gulls on the
Mississippi River. There were also lots of Chimney Swifts over the French
Quarter each evening. Boat-tailed Grackles were seen in Jackson Square and
nearby Riverfront park, and other than that, only a few Northern
Mockingbirds, House Sparrows, Starlings, Rock Pigeons and even 3 Monk
Parakeets.
I was able to bird the City Park area my last evening in the Big Easy, and
what a great experience! I did not know what to expect, but found some
great habitat and had Scarlet Tanager, Indigo Bunting, Blue Grosbeak,
Great-Crested Flycatcher, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Yellow-crowned Night
Heron, Little Blue Heron, Eastern Kingbird, Carolina Chickadee, Summer
Tanager, et al. The “best” bird, however, was a sleepy Eastern Screech Owl
tucked into s mulberry bush at eye level, pointed out to me by a friendly
new Orleans birder who happened to be there birding at the same time. You
can take a taxi to the park, and let them know you want to go to the
Harrison Avenue traffic circle. Make sure you make arrangements to get
picked up later, though, or you might have along walk to a pick up
location. It was about a 10 dollar taxi ride from the Art Musuem to the
French Quarter.
Hope this helps you a bit - enjoy yourself!

The Santa Fe airport does, but I don't know exactly where.
