CAMERON BIRD OBSERVATION TOWER FUND DRAWING RESULTS |
| LOS committed $5,000 to the Cameron Parish Police Jury
to finance a birding observation tower at the Cameron jetty.
The site selected is just east or slightly southeast of the RV
parking lot at East Jetty Beach. The tower is a 15 feet x 15
feet platform on 8-12 foot pilings with a ramp leading from the
surface to the platform.
This allows folks to observe birds both to the west up to the
jetty and pass as well as the large flock of birds usually found
to the east. It also provides a good view of the marsh
behind and to the east of the beach. This tower is a great
asset to all birders visiting the area.
LOS would like to thank those members and the Louisiana birding
community who helped make this project a success.
