The Great Louisiana BirdFest is an annual event of the Northlake Nature Center. It is held each year in the spring when many species are migrating north through Louisiana from Mexico and South America.

The Northlake Nature Center is a not-for-profit corporation supported by tax-deductible memberships and donations, and private and public grants. Programs, activities, and the Center’s future depend on active participation by volunteers and the continuing support of membership.

The Northlake Nature Center is an independent non-profit corporation organized to preserve, study, and publicly exhibit the natural and cultural resources of the Florida Parishes in southeastern Louisiana. Even though membership fees help contribute to the success of the Center, virtually all of the effort to develop and maintain the Center is provided by volunteers.
