I ended my photo trip day in Fakahatchee Strand Preserve. This is one of the wildest areas left in Florida. It has panthers, bear, Everglades mink, Gators and lots of snakes. I found 8 snakes and a Glass lizard here. 1 Black Racer, 4 Banded water snakes, 1 Brown Water […]

Morning photo walk
Took a morning photo walk at the Circle B Bar Reserve this morning. Not a lot of super exciting finds today. I did see two Purple gallinule families each with two small chicks. Found a few cool spider webs also.
Lakeland
Another day, another trip to the Circle B Bar Reserve. Today was off to a slow start. I had covered about 2/3 of the trails I was going to cover this morning (little over 5 miles total) and hadn’t seen much beyond the normal wading birds and some alligators. At […]
Circle B Bar Saturday
It is to the point where it is hard for me to go anywhere else because I feel like I get the most “bang for my buck” at the Circle B Bar Reserve. If I only have a few hours to shoot I can make it there in about 45 […]
Teco Manatee Viewing Center
It has been cooler recently so I figured it would be a good day to got to the TECO manatee viewing center. I was correct on that. There had to have been at least 150 manatees nearby. There were all sizes including some younger ones. There were even some that […]
Kenansville Area
The Kenansville area, south of Kissimmee, Florida is a great area for Florida wildlife and especially for birds. I spent the morning out there today and got quite a few pics I am happy with. I saw at least 4 Bald Eagles including 2 on or near nests. There were […]
Circle B Again
Have I mentioned that I enjoy visiting the Circle B Bar Reserve. I was back for my fourth trip in the last month and a half. This time my oldest daughter Lindsay went with me which was nice. Highlights besides the usual gators and wading birds were a Painted Bunting […]
First Outing of 2022 Sawgrass Lake Park
Took a little family trip today to get out of the house. We visited Sawgrass Lake Park. We saw 2 alligators, one of which was quite large at teh observation tower. We saw a thick black racer and a baby banded water snake. We also visited the resident gopher tortoise […]
Back to the Circle B Bar
Took another trip back to the Circle B Bar Reserve this week. I was not as lucky on this visit. For me the highlights this time were again some nice spiders and webs with dew, a beautiful cardinal, and a great blue heron trying to eat an eel. The eel […]
Circle B Bar Bobcats
I ended up with an unexpected weekday off today so I returned to the Circle B Bar Reserve today to take another shot at the bobcats. I started off super slow as I walked 3+ miles with very little interesting seen. Then all of the sudden, bobcat in a tree. […]
