Wordless Wednesday: Who’s Calling?

Tree Frog In a Knot
A big leaf pierced its neighbor making a nice pocket for a Tree Frog to settle for a nap.
Caught In The Rain
I rarely go to the swamp in the rain. My camera is water-resistant, but not water-proof, and in South Carolina rain is often accompanied by lightening. I don’t want to ruin my camera and more so don’t want to get electrocuted.
Sometimes you get a surprise. Fortunately there is a covered area of the walkway along this side of the pond.
There are a few Great Egret juveniles that haven’t fledged yet and this one backed into the boughs for a little protection.
This fellow was more curious.
The juveniles above are the two seen in the middle tree in the wider view below. There are three others visible in the further tree, along with an Anhinga.
We have been blessed with a lot of rain this month and green is the predominant color right now.
Tree Frog on Dried Stalk
After not finding a Tree Frog in the Calla Lilies around the pond I spotted this one right at my eye level on a dried stalk from last year’s hibiscus.
Greens, Lines and an Anole
A Carolina Anole sunning on a palm frond is another sure sign of spring.
Are We Late?
Or early?
Tree Frog: First Hidden Frog of the Year
I’ve been keeping my eye out for Tree Frogs around the swamp now that we’ve had some warmer days.
On Thursday I spotted one tucked into a palm frond soaking up the afternoon sun.
Great Blue Heron
I was saving this post, for reasons I’ve now forgotten. Maybe it was too much like other posts from last May.
With winter’s dull colors all around us this seems like a good time to show off all this green. And the GBH.
Tree Frogs, Big and Small
Tree Frogs seem to be hanging around everywhere this month, including reeds in the swamp.
This pair found a reed to their liking at the edge of the swamp for a nap.
Neither one showed any acknowledgement of my presence.
This is my first post created from scratch using the Block Editor. It seems tedious with a lot of extra steps compared to my usual process of adding a few images then typing a sentence or two in between.

Leaving a Trail
I heard this young Alligator chirping at the edge of a duckweed covered pond. I’ve seen juveniles in this area off and on over the summer and suspect they are now around six months old and about 2 feet (60 cm) long.
From there he headed out into the pond, using his full body and tail to propel forward. I didn’t hear any more chirping and didn’t see any siblings. Or mama.
Then he made a 90 degree turn.
Finally he straightened out and headed for the other side of the pond, leaving a squiggly trail in the thick duckweed behind him.
