Race Time
For the second weekend in a row there was a lot of gator activity. I am speculating that because the young birds are coming out of the nest the gators are standing by looking for a mistake.

There will be quite a few great blue heron pics over the next couple of days. I think the young ones are coming out of the nests.

Snags
Reflection – Orlando Wetlands Park – June 2015“Because we don’t think about future generations, they will never forget us.” – Henrik Tikkanen
The history of Orlando Wetlands Park is wetlands turned to a cattle ranch then returned to wetlands. When they restored the wetlands they left the tree stands – most have died due to their roots now being underwater, Some have amazingly adapted. The dead trees referred to as snags, provide great places for birds to roost. Some days you will see a bird atop every tree.
