Circle Bar B Reserve

Another nice weekend at the Circle Bar B Reserve. The morning started out cloudy and overcast but lightened up by 9:00. The Green-Winged Teal was feeding along with his mate along Wading Bird Way. Numerous Limpkins were there also. The Bittern was along Marsh Rabbit Run. We actually saw three different Bitterns along the way with all being well camouflaged.

Once again the Circle Bar B Reserve is full of activity. I can never pass up photographing the Roseate Spoonbills as this one was feeding along Wading Bird Way. Sandhill Cranes can be heard all over the Reserve. The Red Bellied Woodpecker can usually be seen with his mate along Marsh Rabbit Run.

We spent Sunday morning at Circle Bar B Reserve dodging rain drops and waiting between clouds for good light. Even with the weather it was an active day with cranes, pelicans, limpkin and whistlers constantly flying about. Each week I'm trying to learn a new bird so this week I found two; the American Bittern and the Green Heron. They can both be seen below. I've also added several other photos to my photo web site http://pbase.com/ddouglas.
