That’s my understanding.

As a snow bird, we have visited for about 10 years. I also agree that the wildlife changes daily, but as we talk with locals from the area, they are also concerned about the lack of large flocks of birds. But, that seems to be happening all over Florida. We visit 4 reserves constantly when we are in Florida and they all have had a shift for fewer birds. Having said that, it seems to be the luck of the draw if you are looking for a particular bird. So frustrating when you know the bird was seen one day, , and the next it does not appear. . Oh, to be able to fly and land where you want to. As amateur photographers we often are up at 4:00 am to get to locations for the first light, , but many times we have been amazed that a particular bird flys in at 1:00 pm. . . So if you are not a morning person, , you may still see that special bird you are looking for, , but you will have to fight the heat. . remember at Circle b Bar there was a lot of damage from the Hurricane several years ago, , we forget that the a Hurricane upsets a lot of habitats including, , HOW do all these little birds survive, or do they, including the larger birds??? It took Circle B Bar years to clean up from that Hurricane. We really enjoy Circle B Bar. I also want to add a comment that the Alligators are really just part of Florida and they too have behaviors that are interesting to us viewers. . Have you ever watched an Alligator eat another Alligator?? we have at Circle B Bar. . I won't ever forget it. . Enjoy all you see and keep the memories forever.

I was there in February and didn't see any of those animals

Sorry for the delay. We spent about 3-4 hours there. It was pretty chilly so only birds were out. I think weather should help you with the decision.

Pets are not allowed.

You can call them only on first Monday of month

It's free. Parking free too.

No if you want to hog hunt go to green swamp. Green swamp opens early December. Walk toward the river wind to your face paying close attention to cabbage palms dropping berries. It’s only a matter of time before you run across a sounder.

Not to worry. Yes they can get big but they are not interested in you. I wouldn't jump in the water with them though. The park consists of causeways or dikes. A gator can get up on the causeway to lay in the sun blocking your way. The park will then close an area when this is a problem. You can always ride in the guided golf cart.

Yes you can get to the trail by going out the back gate of the circle Bar B (south) then head west to catch the trail. About a mile I would guess
