GR Triever said:The river is still a major transportation route; in addition to coal, you'll find gas, chemicals, grain, etc. AND... there are (3) large paddlewheelers operating from New Orleans almost the entire length of the river (and the Ohio River), owned by the Delta Steamboat Line. The Queens (Delta, American, and Mississippi) are booked year-round for excursions ranging from 2 to 7 days, if anybody's interested in a river vacation.

Hi GR. Yes, there are a few cruise boats here too. Then there are the casino boats that never move!
Not sure the boat trips here would be interesting to birders, but the ones close to New Orleans probably would. Wonder if they have swamp tours too?
