White ibis coming in for a landing.

A great blue heron posing for me.

Since there is an abundance of green herons this year, you’ll be seeing a lot of these.

I had heard there were black bellied whistling duck babies at the reserve but I didn’t think I would actually find them.  I found them but they were in a weird spot in the marsh and the family was not going to move for a while. The babies were already half grown so they were easier to see hiding in the reeds and muck.

I was not going to go shopping on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was too nice to be indoors. So instead of a “Black” Friday, I headed out for a long walk at Circle B Bar Reserve.  Sunny and 70 degrees with no crowds.
