Where Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh is
Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh is drawn from 6 parishes in Louisiana: Ascension, Lafourche, St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist and Terrebonne. Those are the parishes its shape on the DuckCast map is built from, so a hunter in any of them reads this region’s score.
When Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh peaks
DuckCast’s season model puts the pintail peak here around mid December. This follows the statewide pintail curve. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the state wildlife agency, linked below.
What DuckCast watches upstream of Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh
3 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line, nearest first: Natchez, MS, about 160 miles north, Vicksburg, MS, about 210 miles north and Greenville, MS, about 280 miles north. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.
Radar over Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh
Each morning DuckCast reads the night’s NEXRAD data from KLCH, the National Weather Service radar at Lake Charles, about 160 miles west of the region’s weather point. That is well outside the region, so treat the radar reading as area context rather than a measurement of this ground. Radar sees every bird in the air, not only ducks, so it confirms or questions the score rather than moving it.
Locations stay generalized
Hunter reports for Terrebonne and Lafourche Marsh are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
