Came across this gator at Green Cay.

Started to head under the boardwalk

until he got to this island

I saw his mouth open and started shooting. This is the only non-blurry shot.

His prize

a mouthful of yucky stuff

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Scott.

This Anhinga was sitting right above the gator just before he snapped. All of the wildlife went crazy after the snap.

When I saw Scott posted the 2015 Astronomy Calendar I remembered this.

When I picked up my Tamron 150-600mm the camera shop had the

and my photo is in February.

I guess with the excitement of the new and extremely HEAVY lens, it slipped my mind.

Spotted this Roseate Spoonbill at the far side of the lake at Green Cay. I would have gone back, but it flew behind the plants. Why is it they never flew towards you???
