This actually happens much more than you would think.
All ended well.
Should I Tell Him ?

Napping. Alligator
They must have a totally different concept of ‘being comfortable’.
A Log Makes For A Hard Pillow, Alligator
I’ve seen them do worse, like a turtle.
Applause For Fat Head, Alligator
Let’s give a round of applause for the big guy.
I believe his ‘double chin’ is larger than his head.
A Few Locals, Alligators
From the archives, a shot of some locals.
I actually visited some of these critters today but the media library on this site still needs work. Love this shot and found it a little while ago so decided to publish it.
The Lazy Hazy Days…Of Winter
For the last hour of the day I tried to keep a watch on this guy. Surely he would be heading for his night place before the temperatures dropped.
Never did. He might have spent the night right there.
Above, last shot of the day.
Another Local, Alligator
I titled this about ‘another local’ since the previous article I just added was based around a close by marsh and storks moving in.
This guy didn’t just move here, his relatives were probably here before people, but he is a local in the same location.
I’m sure there are more of him than the colony of Wood Storks too. It is nice to have him around too though. Always something interesting to photograph.
Heron, Spoonbill, And Friend
At times I’ve mentioned finding surprises in shots I was not aware of at the time. It’s usually something in the background that was unimportant.
Well here is another, but big for something not important.
On the other side of the water, across from the birds, is a big Alligator. About 10 feet ( 3 meters) big. I would think something they were aware of.
Shadows had fallen on part of the marsh, the big guy in them.
How do you miss something that big ?
