~ Some stops along the Loop Road in Big Cypress Swamp had 5 or 6 alligators sunning on the waterway's banks. I liked this one because of the reflection and the big "smile" on his face.

Chuck-Will's-Widow ~ Funny name for a funny-looking bird! Thanks to some birders from New York, who showed me where this bird was roosting after a night of insect-catching. It was the first time I'd seen this bird, and it was very exciting to see it. Although he appeared to be asleep, he was keeping an eye on me as I photographed him.
