One of the open water areas of the Donnelley WMA in the ACE Basin yesterday.

I think the temperature was close to 70 degrees (21 C) by mid day. Usually not a big deal but this week it was.

If you look close you will find Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and White Pelicans.

What you will not find is an Alligator, not a single one. This spot has one of the heaviest concentrations in the south. Not yesterday, they stayed in bed for the day.
