If you're lucky, you might spot a Northern Mockingbird on a bird walk at Burden.

It's no secret that Louisiana is aflocked with an enormous variety of birds. At LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens at Burden alone, over 320 species have been recorded—from the meager mockingbird to the wondrous woodpecker. Once a month, Burden invites the bird-experts and bird-curious alike to participate in two-hour guided bird walks. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars, a cell phone, birding apps and/or Field Guides, sunscreen, insect repellant, appropriate outdoor footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, and water. 7 am–9 am. $10. lsu.edu/botanic-gardens.
