When we lived on Sanibel Island, we had dubbed our yard the Sanibel Zoo. We only live a few miles away now and our new yard may have a whole different vibe, but we still have cool wildlife! We were having dinner on the patio when I saw this guy running along the embankment across the lake. Notice the two spikes on his head!
A mockingbird took exception to the deer running along in his territory and went on attack.
Any time there is a 4 foot tall bird in your backyard, it calls for a photo. I love when a Great Blue Heron visits!
And I finally saw a gator in the lake behind our house. It was raining, but I ran out in the rain and took a photo before he was gone. He was moving fast down the lake.
