Norbert - our private guide on Lake Martin in southwestern Louisiana. He has been hunting alligators for decades.

The teeth of a gator head in the boat is seen in the lower right.
Norbert is very knowledgeable about the local ecology and wild life of Lake Martin and the surrounding area. He is friendly and humorous and speaks English and French. He has been featured in two articles in National Geographic and has been interviewed on national media about the local area.
Lake Martin is what many people imagine when they think of southwestern Louisiana. It is an official wildlife sanctuary with a huge population of nesting alligators and thousands upon thousands of migratory birds nesting in the surrounding forest of oak, cypress and tupelo trees. Perhaps one reason so many birds nest here is the local alligators keep predators, such as raccoons away.
