Circle B Bar Reserve (Jan 28)

Our first day at Camp Margaritaville was good.  I cleaned and oiled the chain on the mountain bike.  Jenny and I went on a short e-bike ride to check out a nearby bike trail.  We went on an unsuccessful search for a dog ramp for Joey so he can get in the RV by himself.  But the main event was going to the Circle B Bar Reserve.  This a two square mile former ranch.  It is now a nature reserve with nice walking trails, numerous birds, and we saw alligators and an armadillo too.

Birds we saw:

Red-shouldered hawk; double-crested cormorant; anhinga; snowy egret; wood stork; osprey; black-crowned night heron; limpkin; white ibis; tricolored heron; great egret; common gallinule; American coot; blue-gray gnatcatcher; palm warbler; red-wing blackbird; swamp 





What, no Grey Goose or Wild Turkey?!

Here are a few pictures.  There’ll be more in the forthcoming photo album.

  2. We can keep our eyes peeled for a ramp in CB if you can wait that long. They pop up on Marketplace every once in a while.
