Good morning everyone!

My wife studied Ornithology in college and still loves spotting, identifying and checking out birds. The past couple weeks she's been going out on the boat with me (Just grapevine because its close with plenty of birds) but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of lakes that are good places for birds?


here are some pics from the past couple (everyone likes pics)

Lake o the Pines has a good population of Bald eagles around Copeland Creek and Johnson creek. They hang out around the main lake points of these creeks.
Others are
Blue herons
King fishers
Loons
Pelicans
Gulls
Egrets
Hawks
Mallards
Wood ducks

Thanks, I'll add it to the list. cool lake too.

For picture taking.. I'd go to Fork this time of year... might see some alligators too.. Hideaway Harbor ramp, hang a left and head up Little Caney. Fishing might be great too!

I would head to Caddo. Good fishing, aquatic uniqueness, and lots of birds.

Close to here, the Caddo National Grassland lakes are good for bird watching. In that area, there are multiple well established bird sanctuary lakes.

Ray Roberts. All the corps property surrounding the lake is great bird habitat.

I think they all are great. Water is life, so lakes are loaded.

Got buzzed by Osprey at Lewisville, and really love the teal and wood ducks at Roberts. Eagles nests just south of Jordan park.

Good pics of the Great Blue Heron. Awesome birds.

Neat thread.

Athens is good

They all have there pluses, seen some pink birds on Livingston last week.

Certainly not local, but Sugar Lake in Mexico is one of the best I've seen. That place is loaded with all types of unusual birds that you don't see around here.
