Lake Kissimmee, FL - Snail Kites and Limpkins!

2/7/2017

We have driven I-20 through Louisiana more times than I remember, but somehow we have never seen this Great Blue Heron Statue right along the interstate in West Monroe, LA. It is part of Restoration Park (right next to the La Quinta Inn & Suites - West Monroe location) along with a pond and walking trail. We had to keep moving so we did not get to explore the park or trails, but it seemed like a nice area to stretch your legs. The statue was beautifully made and slowly spun in the wind. With the right wind, it looked like it's wings could even flap. It was a pleasant surprise to find along the interstate.
