One of my favorite things about birding in Mississippi was that there are so few other birders around. Every time I went out - especially into the Delta - I felt like James Audubon, ready to discover some new species or hotspot. The east side of Mississippi is still unbelievably underbirded.
The lack of known birding spots in the Delta, along with the fact that I am friends with the state eBird reviewer, mean that I had a lot of sway when it comes to suggesting new hotspots. I named one after myself, thereby ensuring ornithological glory for the eternity.
Next time you're in Tunica, follow the dirt road over the levee behind the Hollywood Casino and find yourself on the banks of the mighty Mississippi, in Nick's Paradise. Tell me how you did.
