[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 549082, member: 13556"] I left the banks of Lake Hancock and headed back to the Discovery Center, hoping to see more song birds. This is the only fauna I saw on my way on the Shady Oaks trail. [ATTACH=CONFIG]207100._xfImport[/ATTACH] Unfortunately, it was the last subject I photographed on my journey around the Circle B Bar Reserve that day. I had hopes of seeing Indigo and/or Painted Buntings, but as I sat around the area outside the Discovery Center, I did not see any birds other than crows. After a few minutes, I put my gear into the car, and headed out of the reserve. As soon as I got out of the reserve and on the main road, I saw two adult Sandhill Cranes with two colts off of the side of the road. I thought about stopping, but the traffic was just bad enough to make me think better of it. So just know, that there are still crane adults and colts to be seen and photographed in the area. Overall, I enjoyed my trip through the CBB, and there is still enough to keep me interested in going back. The best thing I took with me was the folding tri-legged chair; it provided a way to easily get lower for taking photos, as well as being able to get off of my feet during the trip. I hope to have a converted jogging stroller the next time I visit, so that I don't have to lug all of my gear in my arms or on my back, which got tiresome. I also will try to have a cooler in my car with cold drinks in them. My water bottle was downright hot, and was unpalatable when I returned to my vehicle. I hope you've enjoyed my photos and narrative of my visit to the Circle B Bar Reserve. Thanks for letting me share it with you. WM [/QUOTE]
