Cornell Lab director John Fitzpatrick narrates a birding tour from swamp to sea. In the upland forests and cypress swamps, songbirds chorus and ibises form chaotic roosts. Waterfowl from most of the continent spend the winter in the bayous. Elsewhere in the vast marsh lies a surprising diversity of habitats distinguished by the salinity of the water.
