Other Great Sights at Goose island

The Big Tree. It’s a 1000 year old Live Oak. It is 35 feet in circumference with a canopy nearly 90 feet in diameter. Amazing.
More alligators. We saw three while on a hike. All were across a little pond from us so not too scary but they were big (two of them we guess are over 8 feet – tough to estimate with no one willing to stand over close to provide any scale).
Our bird list is growing! Pelicans are huge and I never knew there were so many kinds of ducks. We haven’t even tried to identify seagulls. Tomorrow there is a talk on identifying shore birds. Definitely something I plan to go to.
