Get Your Nature Fix Strolling The Scenic Audubon Park Loop In New Orleans

Audubon Park has been an Uptown treasure for 150 years and, like a fine wine, only seems to get better with age. The 350-acre park is one of the most beautiful parks in New Orleans, and that’s before we even get into the Audubon Zoo, which is also located within the park. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon if you need to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and lose yourself in some enchanting scenery for a while.

Ducks. Lots and lots of ducks. Black-bellied whistling ducks, to be more specific. Of course, you’ll also have a good chance of seeing an anhinga, egret, or a heron wading in the water.
The eastern side of the park is home to a bird rookery that’s home to hundreds of wading birds.

Great egrets, cattle egrets, snowy egrets, blue herons, and double-crested cormorants are just a few of the feathered friends that call the park home.
You never know when you'll come across the wildlife here.
