A fellow photographer motioned to me that there was something down over the bank. That motioning wasn’t at all specific, nor alarmed. I was hoping for a Barred Owl, which we had heard earlier.
No, it was a pretty big Alligator on the move.
I backed up, and more and more Gator came through the underbrush.
With my 100-400MM lens at 100MM I could not get the entire beast in my frame.
As expected the Alligator went straight across the road and dropped into the pond.
I found out later was that this is a mama Alligator and she had been seen moving young hatchlings into the pond.
They look different when they are up on their legs. Stay back they can move very fast
They sure do, Alice! It’s kind of odd to see them walk.
Never dull is it 😂😂😂
Not so far 😳
Very cool series, Ellen, those tails are amazing and huge!!
Thanks, Donna! You sure wouldn’t want to get whapped by one of those tails!
