Gravel trails and boardwalks[5] run through over a mile of baldcypress-tupelo swamp, beech-magnolia and hardwood forests.

Birds, squirrels, turtles, snakes, insects, and spiders are regularly seen inhabitants along with other common urban wildlife such as raccoons, armadillos, opossums, and swamp cottontails.

Since then, a protocol has been drafted based on recommendations from the North American Banding Council,[7] the Handbook of Bird Monitoring Techniques[8] and the Klamath Demographic Network.

[9] The publications produced from this project include an examination of indigo bunting moulting patterns[10] and Barred Owl foraging behavior.

[11] Thousands of birds have been banded largely by LSU undergraduate and graduate students, as parts of research projects.
