I wrote last week about a drive I took towards “the delta”. From The Brake area I drove over to the Mississippi River levee where I had seen other reports on eBird. I saw some first right past the Lake Chicot Pumping Plant but the birds weren’t really closer than my first sighting (actually further) so I really did not get the photo I was after. It was sprinkling rain at this time so I thought about just heading home as the drive from The Lake Chicot Pumping Plant is long. I decided to go keep going on the drive down the levee and saw them really close and got some photos as I had hoped. I’m beyond thankful for seeing the Roseate Spoonbills like this. I’m thankful for birders reporting on eBird and my family for being patient with me as I’ve gone after this opportunity! I’ll post below some photos from this drive in groups to better tell the story.
The start of my drive, I love the views from the Mississippi River Levee.
The first sighting from this drive of Roseate Spoonbills at Lake Chicot Pumping Plant.
You never know what kind of wildlife you’ll see riding the Mississippi River Levee.

Let’s look back at my first photos of Roseate Spoonbills by viewing my tenth post here.
The light was changing a bunch and I did not do well adjusting my camera. These photos are very blown out but I like the wildlife in them.
And back to Lake Village, time to head home!
