I titled this ‘Watching Closely’ because if you enlarge the image you will see just how outnumbered the small Snowy Egret is.

Truth here is this is a common scene. The birds mingle with Alligators all the time. I can’t remember the last time I saw a gator grab one. They will snap if there are young nearby, otherwise it’s easier to get fish or crabs.

This was taken with my B&W setup. OM-1(1), Olympus 12-200, custom monochrome mode. The idea is to force myself to get better in this format.
