Just east of Lafayette, Louisiana, the heart of Cajun Country, lies Lake Martin. A small swamp surrounded lake, Lake Martin is a perennial roosting area of herons, spoonbills and several other species of wading birds. We stayed with friends in Lafayette, Poochie and Connie Plonsky, and I was fortunate to arrange a meeting with Bre and Gayle for two mornings of shooting. We had a great lunch in St. Martinville, a picturesque little town with antebellum estates and quaint Victorian cottages.
