A Dry Bar

 Today we headed back to the Circle B Bar Reserve.


The water level is down about three feet right now, and some marsh areas are totally dried out.

Which has led to a kill off of some fish, like this one that the racoon is working on................


...................and this Anhinga that no alligator has found yet.


And it has resulted in several hundred black vultures on clean up duty.


They were everywhere.  Covering the sky, perched in trees and on the ground.  Like a bad movie.

There weren't a lot of alligators to be seen, but those that we did see were pretty big.


We were surprised to see a couple of Spoonbills, not a usual visitor at the Circle B Bar.


And dozens of Great Blue Herons, many more than we usually see here.


There are signs that read "No Fishing", but some can't read.


Guess where that fish is now.  The neck is a bit thick isn't it?


We even saw a snake.


After 6,500 steps and a quick lunch that Mardi had brought along we headed home.  An interesting day!

-------------------------------------------

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday and we'll be watching the half time show featuring Bad Bunny.

But, since that is a "woke" show, the Republicans will be streaming an alternate show titled "Faith, Family and Freedom".

Let me know what you get to see back in Canada.

Stay well.
