I got out to the Park this morning on a rumor that theWhooping Crane(s) had been spotted there. Well no Whooping Crane, but there wasa fair amount of wildlife out there. I spotted a very large Alligator baskingon the bank with her mouth open. I grabbed the 600mm f/4, TC-300 and D300 toget some close-up shots.
It was not until I removed the TC-300 that I realized thatthere was a baby Alligator on her back!
There was also a beautiful Blue Heron there
The last image is unusual. There is both an Anhinga andDouble Breasted Cormorant preening in an old dead tree. They are “cousins” butthe Cormorant is usually found in marine environments rather than fresh water lakes.
