Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, LA

Down by the bayou .....

Along the walkway we saw birds and wildlife and fortunately did not see the Cottonmouth, commonly called "Water Moccasin". In this area you do not want to see this snake as it is one of the USA's most venemous snake species, they are mean and do not hesitate to strike if cornered.
