Hanging out in the sun

After carrying its meal out of the water and up the bank, my favorite heron proceeded to spear the fish before swallowing it whole. Watch how it elongates its neck to swallow.

This one or one like it visits nearly every day.

It needed a drink after swallowing a fish whole.

This heron is a regular visitor to the waters of the canal. I could watch it hunt all day long.

I observed this large alligator protecting and devouring its prey. It captured the crane several hours before. Over the course of those hours, it swam away once leaving the carcass behind, but returned to finish it off.

Not quite sure what this behavior is or what it means, but Rico does it all the time 🤔

Dallas on the hunt for lizards in the firepit. Don't worry, he's safe. The ashes are not hot.

The sounds of the birds chirping and waters flowing are just what is needed sometimes.

Gigi and Dallas go at it daily while Rico, the Chihuahua, looks on.

Rico, the Chihuahua, does not like to be disturbed when he is resting.
