I kept coming across shots (and opportunities) like these and can’t help myself. On this day I must have spent a few hours shooting this spot in the marsh.
It’s a bit crazy for birds and gators to stay up close like this. Yet they do it all the time, maybe it’s us.

American Alligator, Roseate Spoonbill, Yellowlegs.
Goodness, that bird looks like a tasty snack.
Probably tastes like ‘Pepto Bismol’ the old pink antacid 😁
