Seeing some FB lives of a fire on Lake Pontchartrain? Anybody confirm?

There was some marsh burning near the spillway bridge on Monday. I didn't see any smoke today.

Yep, Monday a big ole area of marsh burned. Had traffic backed up through Kenner. Sadly, there were multiple eagle’s nests right in the burn range. No doubt the eagles survived, I just wonder if they’ll return like they used to every year now.

Marsh fires there is kind of a yearly thing.

If any law enforcement associations want to get to the bottom of that fire, go out there this weekend and stake it out. The first guys that start rabbit hunting around there, most likely started that fire. No such thing as "accidental" marsh fire unless it started by a cigarette from a road or bridge. I saw that fire on the news, the wind was from the north that day. It was burning towards the bridge.

Oh dang. My friends and I were going to go hunt that area this weekend…. Guess I’ll hold off for now.

The eagles are really scavengers and will return, if nothing else out of the abundance of trash that pulls in small rodents and the roadkills in the area.. They prefer to steal and eat roadkill than to actually hunt.. They are a dumb bird ..

Not the spot where this one was. I’ve lived in the area my entire life and that’s the first marsh fire in that particular stretch I recall.

Duck Season! Rabbit Season!

There should be mandatory marsh burning every year. Best thing that could happen to the marsh is to burn all the dead grass and allow new growth, each year. No different than trimming back your ornamental grasses each year to allow them to grow back healthier with a thriving root system.

You supposed to wait for a season to hunt?
