We got pretty good at recognizing the tell tale eye ridge of a mostly submerged gator. It was cool and cloudy so they didn’t show themselves too much but Brian and Robin helped us spot at least 20 of them sized from just a couple foot long baby to probably 9ft long as we strolled around the lake. Very cool.
Water birds made a pretty good showing too: rosette spoonbills, egrets, herons, curlews, cormorants, coots and ducks…probably a few more I have forgotten.
