Circle B Bar Reserve

 Earlier this week we visited the Circle B to see what was new.  Along Marsh Rabbit Run we found a nest of new alligator hatchlings.  We counted 14 but there were likely more out of sight.  Mother gator was close by but did not appear threatened by our pressence.  Further along the trail we found this Blue Heron trying to consume a banded water snake. 
I can just never pass up photographing the Bitterns along the same trail.

 This Anhinga had just speared dinner.  He was eventually able to swallow it whole. Amazing..

    Great Gatorland shots. Was this your first visit there? I went last February for the first time and immediatley bought a annual pass. Just renewed my 2011 pass last week. Was there today and there are many eggs and a few chicks in the egret nests. What a fabulous place. Mike Smeets
