Do they eat baby gators? Folks on another thread are very anxious to fix a non existing gator problem. 😀

Great pics!

We see them at Fenny and sometimes in the retention ponds.

Love that Rec Center.

Never Mind. I see now that he was eating a crawfish. So, how long before we hear from the "Save The Crawdads Foundation"?

Here is Sam's response as to what the white thing in its mouth is: Bullfrog that hasn't lost its tail yet.

The Village of St Johns has already named him Ricky. This rec center is in St John’s, so they talk about him and share photos in their FB group. We went to see him at dusk last night but he was already off to bed somewhere. We did see a lively owl family in an oak tree with two large owlets flapping their wings on the side of the nest while mom and dad were in nearby trees keeping watch. The parents eventually flew off to hunt over in Richmond across Meggison, so we left too because the bugs were getting buggy.
