Florida Alligators

The mangroves have such a neat root system; they help filter the water. Have you ever seen a panther cross the road? We did see a turtle cross the road. When it got to the other side it was stuck because there was no way for it to get under the fence; Will helped. And he was so happy he zoomed away to toward the canal. This is an interesting road, FL29 with a canal on one side to the right of the guard rail. And we renamed it Alligator Alley because of all the gators we saw. There were birds too. Sometimes we would park and go up to the rail for a closer look. The gators didn't seem to mind. Can you find the bird? This great blue heron was soaring by. Looks like he is smiling, right?  Alligator's top jaw go out over their lower jaw and the teeth hang out.  Crocodiles teeth fit inside the jaws. Pretty area. "Are you looking at me?" Who was more startled, the black vulture or the alligator? This is a wood stork. The black vultures were coming in; love their wings. Maybe...
