We get them here in the winter.<BR/><BR/>SCMomma,<BR/>Who told you I've never been bitten?<BR/>I have been sampled by multiple species.<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Bee,<BR/>For the big tree, it's either Logpile or Parker Field road after the Waca bridge on 24. They actually have a sign now once you get to the parking area.<BR/><BR/>This pond is a little harder to find as it's not noted by signs or visible from even a few yards away, much less from the road.<BR/>Take Bear Pocket road to seek it tho.<BR/>And if you see a red jeep with a redfish tag on the front, please flag me down and say hi!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for that Ibis trustworthy tip too! I better stick with gators and bulls.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mockinbird, <BR/>Now that is the spirit. It's gooshy in there.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Robin,<BR/>I had worked so slowly to get close and the very alert egret spied me and spooked the goofier ibis.<BR/>Stinkers!<BR/><BR/>Laura,<BR/>I'm not as birdery as some of you, but could it have been a catbird? There was a bird fussing in the bush that looked like a catbird to me.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-27781573596933119362008-10-21T17:47:00.000-05:002008-10-21T17:47:00.000-05:00What's all that squalking in the background?What's all that squalking in the background?LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-69935115504286519572008-10-21T15:47:00.000-05:002008-10-21T15:47:00.000-05:00You do get to see some very cool birds there.
