The Alligators square off but life goes on at the pond...







Like the beach you never quite know what you are going to see or find when you go to the mid-island pond.  We try to go about an hour before sunset as that is the time when most of the birds start returning to roost.  Today was a special day with wonderful light which produced the above pictures.

  #1.  Shows the pathway leading to the pond.
  #2.  First glimse of the pond.
  #3.  Shows four turtles sunning themselves on the log.
  #4.  Shows an unknown bird with a very long pink bill.  I need to learn my southeast birds!
  #5. " Big Al" swimming towards the south end of the pond.  Notice the ducks are giving him the right of way and they are heading in the opposite direction.
  #6.  South end alligator letting "Al" know he is at the wrong end of the pond and to keep moving.

It was a great day and we are so lucky to be here.
