Avery Island Wildlife

Pam and Edmund McIlhenny's wildlife photos of Avery Island, Louisiana, which is one of five salt domes rising above the flat Louisiana coastal wetlands. This gallery includes photographs of the following species: American Alligator, Anhinga, Armadillo, Bobcat,Cormorant, Deer, Hawk, Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, White Ibis, White-faced Ibis, Glossy Ibis,Lesser Scaup diving duck, Lamb,Common Loon, Otter, Barred Owl, American White Pelican, Brown Pelican, Racoon, Robin, Roseate Spoonbill, Eastern Wild Turkey, and Turkey Vulture.

Avery Island is also the home of TABASCO Brand Pepper Sauce, which Edmund McIlhenny's great grandfather invented in 1868. Because the company remains family owned, with its headquarters still at Avery Island, we have had the opportunity over the years to photograph wildlife, as well as some of the most beautiful parts of the Island. We hope you enjoy them. More information on Avery Island is available at http://www.TABASCO.com, and http://www.Twitter.com/A_Island.
Warmest regards, Pam and Edmund McIlhenny

    April 2013 is the first time we have seen a White-faced Ibis on Avery Island.  They range from Mississippi west, and prefer freshwater wetlands. They also breed in salt marshes, and in Louisiana and Texas can be year-found residents.  They like to forage near Great Egrets or other large herons, taking advantage of early warnings of predators from these larger birds with wider fields of vision. Because their plumage is less showy than other birds, they were not threatened by ove-rhunting the way the egrets, herons, and spoonbills were.
