American Alligator

You can't see it but this 12 foot plus gator has claimed the area under nesting little blue herons, roseate spoonbills and snowy egrets. He will just wait for a chick to fall out of the nest.

Man, I would have used a much longer lens. Twelve foot gator could fit two of me in there!

Nice Bre; his eye is in a ray of sunlight. Vote.

~V~ Pretty scary looking gator! My hands would have been shaking too hard to get a focus!

Waiting for a photographer to fall over too....I would have been out of there looooong before the focus was done :>))

He's trying to decide if your faster than him! I can see it in his eyes! -BJ

It's alright for him to claim a fallen chick so long as he doesn't snag a Louisiana photographer in the bargain! :)) Super shot, Breland. V
Best to you,
Dick:)
