Choice: Another ugly truck - found in the Yucca Valley region - not too ugly, though, with the American flag attached to it.

Great photos everyone!
I'm late to the party but have a couple for now...and some other possibilities.

Flying
Image
Wood stork coming in for a landing. Taken in the rookery in St. Augustine's Gator Farm. The birds like to nest in the trees above the gators so that they aren't bothered by tree climbing predators.
But they'd better watch out to stay out of the gators reach...

Representative to our area.
We're in Gator country...and not just the football team.

A gator caught a bird for lunch. However all the less enterprising gators thought he should give it over to them.

The chase started in the water, onto land, through trees and back to the water. He hung on to his prize even with others biting at his tail, legs and (as you see here) his head. Sometimes there were 3 or 4 attacking at the same time. Yet he hung on.

I don't know what happened when they got back in the water as that put them under the walkway we were on.

Welcome back, Tennie!!! Missed you! Great shots of the wood stork and pugnatious alligators.

Tennie, lovely shot of the "sisters". That's interesting about Cracker Days - never knew about it.
