Polk County, FL ~ Circle B Bar Ranch Preserve ~ Butterflies

Carolina Satyr
Today Bernie & I headed to Circle B Bar Ranch Preserve for the first time.  We have thought for a long time it was a great place and boy, were we right.  We saw so many different birds, butterflies and other animals.  We walked about 4 hrs in the morning, took a break for lunch and then walked another couple of hours.  Just amazing!  Wish I lived closer as I'd be there a lot this time of year but that's one reason I retired to be able to travel to places like this. I must say I was surprised at the many species and numbers of butterflies seen here.
