Repositioned to get a full shot, his rich dark feathers are so striking. #birds #raptors

There is something about capturing shots of Bald Eagles. Especially when the eagle seems to acknowledge they see me, it's like they trust me to keep their secret. #birds #raptors

Yucky weather, but saw her land in a nearby tree, so I trekked over and snagged a shot. Juvenile Blad Eagle #birds

Yesterday, I went down to where the bayou runs into the bay and watched a juvenile bald eagle harass the pelicans. Here, you can see the eagle swooping in and snagging a fish, and the pelican attacking. #birds

A Sleepy head in the morning sun. Jekyll Island, GA #reptiles #gators

This was one of the longest /biggest gators I saw. You can get the length by measuring the distance from the midpoint of its eyes to the tip of its snout, which is then roughly equal to its total length in feet. Rough guess 14ft. #reptiles #gators
