Okefenokee visit March 9-11, 2020

I was just in the Okefenokee March 9-11 and had a great visit! Water levels did seem a little higher, and the current a little swifter on the red trail heading upstream from Billy’s Lake, but nothing outrageous. Compared to March visits in the last few years, the spatterdock and other submerged vegetation seemed less, and didn’t clog our electric trolling motor as much.

The bird numbers seemed lower, but the alligators were everywhere on Billy’s Lake, Minnie’s Lake and up on Big Water Lake; especially on March 11 when the sun came out and the gators all took to their logs and perches to gather sun.

Over the next several weeks I'll be getting my photos edited and posted here on iNat, and on the blog at https://okefenokee.photography/. If you have the time, March is a great time to visit the Okefenokee. Despite the wet conditions, the mosquitoes didn't bad at all except in the shady campground areas.
