Pattianne,
It looks like a Prothonotary Warbler - blue-gray wings (a little difficult to tell from the photo). Habitat of swampy woods looks correct, if that's a bald cypress and your location in Louisiana, would also be correct. My field guide calls it a "golden sprite of swampy woods".

Lucky you!
