		The preserve, just south of the French Quarter across the Mississippi River, is home to a veritable who’s who of Louisiana critters, from alligators, snakes and turtles (lots of ‘em) to herons, egrets, ibis and the state’s unofficial state bird, the mosquito (lots of them, too; part of Barataria’s 20,000 acres are swamps and marshes).
