Duck dinner for a gator: We must have arrived shortly after the action. Too bad. The alligator must have been afraid that we were going to take his lunch

We must have arrived shortly after the action. Too bad. The alligator must have been afraid that we were going to take his lunch - he did not like us watching him and quickly swam off, meal in mouth.

Wow Steve that would have been quite a series if you had arrived a little earlier. Maybe not one you would have wanted to post though!

We see lots of gators and have always wondered why we don't see them eating - I imagine they do a lot of their eating early in the morning. It would have been interesting to see! Normally we watch them as they lie there motionless for hours it seems - it seems they are just waiting for some hapless bird to let down its' guard and get just a little TOO close in front of them - and pow! If I had more patients I would go and sit there for hours... but I am not that patient.

I seem to remember that you are a doctor, "If I had more patients...". It shows.

Well, yeah. I usually do these early in the AM. Not enough coffee, obviously. :)
