Restored nesting island draws record bird colonies in Louisiana
Rabbit Island off Calcasieu Lake swelled to about 6 100 nests from 16 times expected as pelicans egrets herons and terns flock to the newly expanded habitat. About 1 500 pelican pairs and 12 species nested this year as dredging added 102 acres and raised the land to 3.5 feet. The $16.4 million project funded by BP settlement funds aims to bolster the state bird and restore coastal habitat.
