Orlando Wetlands Park, 7/23/2011
Nothing new at Orlando Wetlands Park this time, but it was still a pretty good morning. As soon as I walked in, two Pileated Woodpeckers came and greeted me. When I made it onto the birding loop, the alligators were feeding on fish, so there were about 50 of them splashing and thrashing all in a group. I took pictures there for about 15 minutes of them catching fish. I don't care too much about photographing alligators, but if that's what you would enjoy, Orlando Wetlands Park is your place.
