A few Common Gallinules were walking around in this shallow water at the edge of a pond, quietly minding their own business.
Gallinules are known for making a vocal fuss, but while I was watching this scene they were quiet.
Hard to say if Alligators pay any attention to when birds vocalize; I’ve seen them respond to movement around them but not just noise.
These Alligators never moved.

Nice to see everyone getting along 😊. Very nice, Ellen!
How true is that! Thanks, Belinda.
Are you anywhere near the path of that wild snow dumping storm?
No, happily it’s passed us by!
