Nice picture. We keep pushing and pushing them from their habitat. Seems Orlando suburbs residents have daily encounters; in their pools, on their lanais after shredding the screen to get to some sandwiches and chips left on a table, lounging on a patio chaise lounge, and so on. Age old problem when, out of our own need to shelter ourselves and build facilities, we are forced to take their homes. No easy answers.
