Looks to be having some troubles.
He did pose nicely though.

I Guess We Are Not Important, Alligator
He just leisurely surfaced and looked around.
Floated a bit, watched us, got bored.
No interest in what we were doing.
It puts things in perspective…
Up Close And Personal, Great Blue Heron
You don’t get many opportunities like this. While I couldn’t feel the wind, I certainly heard it.
This type of photograph reinforces just how large their wings really are.
Floating Along, Pelican
So, as I was floating along…so were these two.
Wood Storks In The Shallow End
And as always the water level is changing in the marshes again. We have had some serious rain lately so you would think the water is deep, just the opposite.
A series of dikes and water trunks (gates) keep the wet lands flowing. These were taken a few days ago, and the trunks must have been closed.
A few hours ago (7/15/2019) some gates were open and water was moving with the tide.
These Storks can fly to tremendous heights, they find shallow water and land to take advantage of the opportunity to fish.
Pair Of Wood Ducks
These are the most common duck in the Lowcountry. Everywhere else it’s the Mallard, but these vivid color ducks are plentiful around here.
One reason they are around is because they’re smart…and shy.
It’s so hard to get a nice shot. Frustrating !!!
Just Big, Really Big. Alligator
When you see one of the ‘big guys’ sitting around like this you must stop and admire what they are.
After thousands of years they are still here, doing the same thing they always did.
It can be like watching a dinosaur, still alive.
Great Egret Passing Through
While breeding season is over the Egrets are always around, we just don’t get as many opportunities.
When you have a bird come by like this it doesn’t matter how many you photographed recently.
Such an elegant bird in flight.
