a birder's paradise

Circle B Bar Reserve 

(just southeast of Lakeland, Florida).

Bird enthusiasts have been flocking to this old "cow camp" (now public) for over 20 years.  

Commonly seen; Herons and Egrets, Ibis's, Spoonbills, and Sandhill Cranes. Morehens and the Black-necked Stilt, Quail, Meadow Larks, the Painted Bunting, Warblers and Purple Martins. The American Bald Eagle, Kestrels, Ospreys and the Barred owl. Red-shouldered hawks and all those peculiar, gobbling Wild Turkeys. And with so many miles of marshland trails, with numerous species of ducks, the ducks own count is unimaginable.
