Meet "Big Al" - Jekyll Island's own alligator & other residents





Took an afternoon hike to what was described as a bird rookery in the middle of the island.  What we found was a small pond with dozens of birds that had come to roast for the evening.  Although we had heard that the island did have resident alligators but did not expect to run into one.  But we were very lucky and found "Big Al" sunning himself in the late afternoon sun.  It was very exciting to see him as well as all the birds.  Enjoy!
