Just got to Wako and unpacked my camera when these young folks walked by. Don't know what she was looking at.

At the bottom of my street there's a Wetlands Nature Reserve. Don't see any of these though, unless someones secretly flushed one down the bog (toilet). That'd scare the dog walkers;)

No dogs allowed in our wetlands. That would be teasing the gators and that's illegal.

Surveying going on at Wako. Wonder what's happening. A couple of years ago, there was talk of adding more parking, but I don't know where they could add.

Not sure, but I believe this is a Snipe. Snipe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snipes must be kind of rare....we used to tell kids in the neighborhood we were going to take them out in the woods to go 'snipe hunting'. We knew they'd never find one, but were counting on the scary sounds coming out of the woods to scare them back to our house. It was fun. Never knew what a snipe really was until now. Thanks Marilynne.

this chap sure is sleepy. Tummy is blotted. its as if he just swallowed something big ..
Marilynne. How far were you from this gator?

I'm not good at guessimating Eddie, but around 50 - 100 feet. I used the Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm.
