The national news has been filled with an image of a poor Alligator breathing through a hole in the ice. South Carolina has a few right in the Charleston area.
Here is a photograph taken in the Donnelly Wildlife Management Area. This particular Alligator had a spot large enough for his head.
Poor guy. Have things returned to normal yet?
Almost normal. It’s been warm but places that don’t see sun still have some ice…like swamps. Visited a rookery earlier and many of the Herons are fine. Other birds, critters, not in any numbers. They may have moved on for a pause.
