Follow me on Twitter Last month, my daughter and I visited my mother in Naples, Florida for a week. I thought I’d share some of the wildlife pictures that I took. Most of the shorebird pictures are from the beach in Naples. Sometimes dolphins feed along this beach – always fun to watch! Occasionally they get really close & you would think they are going to rush up onto the beach! I tried to get some pictures of one of the dolphins & almost had it jumping out of the water, but no. This fin shot was the only clear one I got. We also took my daughter on an airboat ride to see some alligators. What a fun trip! Last year, the lake was much smaller and there were tons of baby alligators everywhere. This year, the lake was flooded and the babies weren’t as accessible, but there were lots of very large alligators to be seen! The males were just starting to go out into the open lake to set up their territories – no bellowing yet though. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Time for another field trip to Moss Landing State Beach! I headed out with the zoology class to look at birds, otters, seals, & sea lions yesterday. We had a sunny day this time, so I think the pictures turned out a little better than the ones I posted last spring.
