Mimi Should Have warned Me!!!! Dangers of Shooting an Egret!!!!

[theantiquetiger]

I had about 30 minutes this afternoon before picking the girls up from school, so I went back to the place where I saw the two baby alligators the other day.

The bayou where I shoot these at has an old, closed down, road side bar, MiMi's Alligator Bayou Bar:





I didn't see any alligators but I see an egret far off, so I make my way around to get this better shot.




As I was focusing on the egret, I did not notice this 5-6 foot alligator about 20 feet away.





All this while, just up the bank, there was this 10+ foot alligator asleep. I did not see him because of the glare off of him. I was able to get closer before spooking him







Here is another shoot of the big boy. It was soft, so I did not post edit it. I just wanted to show y'all the size.
