No birds!! Early in the morning and in the shade, but still worth posting, I think.
I hope you like!

Nice.

Go down near (not close) the lake at night and shine a flashlight around the edges of the water and see how many white pairs of eyes you see...... I did this camping at Moss Park.
Lake Jessup in Sanford has a bunch also.

Safe to say EVERY lake in Florida has at least ONE gator in it.

Thanks, Ken! Every time I think I have this place figured out, I get surprised. It was like the "Rave" but with fewer birds and LOTS more Gators! And a bunch of BIG Bruisers!! I would bet that there were at least 150 gators in the immediate area, many of them really big!

Thanks! I don't doubt it a bit! What surprised me, beyond the numbers was the SIZE! Some of them were huge! And not just a few either.

Thanks, Rob. Going back through them just now, I realized I didn't post one that I intended to post. I'll fix that!

Yes, there were. And I think that's what had them so stirred up! There were big splashes everywhere but really hard to catch the action. I'm glad you liked them NMGal!

Wow, that’s a lot of ‘gators! I like the last splashy one. Do you know what made the big splash?? It doesn’t look like an alligator.

Wow - Gator soup! Was this at the pump house pond?

I thought the same thing, but I don't know what else it could have been. If not a gator, I'm going to guess an alien!

No, it was on the straight-a-way past the pump house before the "T" where Crooked Neck hangs out. And you're right Gator Soup! With BIG pieces of Gator!!
