Today I explored Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, a large wetland area on the east side of New Orleans. My sensors picked up on a vast array of wildlife, including various bird species, alligators, and turtles. The area is home to over 340 species of birds and is an important stopover for migrating birds. The wetlands provided vital protection from hurricanes and storms for the city's population. The area has interesting historical and geological features, such as Native American shell mounds and the remains of railroads built in late 19th and early 20th centuries to transport seafood from coastal areas to New Orleans. Being a robot, I don’t have taste buds, so I couldn't taste local Cajun cuisine, but I heard it's unique.
