The pond continues to attract...

Yesterday, our anhinga bird made his or her first return, and took advantage of the sun to dry its feathers, they get in this pose for hours at a time, then take off.  This bird, or others have been on our stoop for two or three years now.

I noticed a gator for what seemed to be a long time in the same place, and discovered it was simply asleep- as you can see by the photos..  He took about a two hour nap right in front of the window..  then ambled off.  Notice his eyelids are shut....

This little guy, which is a plover, I think, decided it was time to take a nap too, so he snoozed for an hour or two.... 

This fellow was ambling along the shore, and then waded in and got him or her self a fish snack. 

Pretty day at the pond...
