This alligator was on patrol when a baby Black-necked Stilt crossed the channel - the bird made it across safely. See Greg's post :arrow: here.

I have always liked the green in the water and the reflection.

Digital capture with Canon 1D, Canon 500mm f/4 with 1.4x teleconverter, tripod.

Comments appreciated!

Cowabunga Buffalo Bob! (Used only when Holy Smoke! isn't enough.)

I've seen a number of alligator shots like this - and have taken a few ;) - but to have a gator so light colored against such a nice background - and that eye, both the original and the reflection - that's marvelous.

Really nice Heather. I particularly like the complimentary water color and the wonderful reflection of the eye..
