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.

Another check of the park area found 4 more butterfly species not seen here yesterday. This brings my trip species to 23 which includes 4 species in South Carolina. Really nice considering it's Day #4. I know it won't keep up but spring must be coming!
