Guided Whooping Crane Walks at White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area

Join us for a monthly morning bird walk at the White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area in Gueydan, Louisiana, beginning Saturday, Nov. 7 – March 13, 2027! We will meet in the parking area at the White Lake Birding Trail at 9 a.m. CT.

We’ll walk the trail as a group to explore the birds of the local marshes of south Louisiana and hopefully see some local specialties, such as Limpkins, Great Kiskadee, and Vermilion Flycatchers. If we’re lucky, we may see an endangered Whooping Crane either on the trail or along the roadway leading to the Birding Trail.

Dress for the weather, bring bug spray and sun protection, walking shoes or boots, and join our Whooper Walks!

Important Note: All participants ages 18 and older must have a Wildlife Management Area Access Permit purchased prior to the Whooper Walk. Either annual permits ($20) or five-day permits ($5) can be purchased from louisianaoutdoors.com or at any hunting/fishing license vendor. Each participant must also complete a free Self-Clearing Permit either upon arrival or up to 24 hours before arriving at the walk.
