Lafayette Daily Advertiser A stretch of land in the western portion of Calcasieu Lake known as Rabbit Island has been shrinking for decades, the tide washing away more than land each year. The marsh island in Cameron Parish is the only brown pelican rookery in southwest Louisiana. Once 200 acres of land, it is down to just 30 acres and continues to lose nearly half of the brown pelican eggs laid each year to the tide. About a decade ago, more than 1,000 pelicans nested on the island, but that number dwindled to 400 by 2018, prompting environmental agencies and engineers including some from Acadiana to work together to reverse that trend and protect Louisiana s official state bird.
