His mate wanted a handout as well.

A wet brown thrasher hiding in the bushes.

Something yellow. I’m thinking a female common yellowthroat?

A carolina chickadee high up in the trees. I could not get a good shot of this guy.

Mom alligator still guarding her nest. I thought it had been close to 2 months since I had seen the alligator nest mound she was resting on. Still no babies on this trip. The area is fenced off so I took this in between. She’s got some nice teeth.

Turtle hanging out near the alligator’s nest.

Buzzing around.

 I saw this beautiful dog walking with his owner and had to take a picture.

Another quiet morning at Chesnut Park. There were a few migrating birds showing up but most stayed high up in the trees. I’m having a hard time seeing many of the fall migrating birds this season. It always rains during the week when the birds stop by for a rest and I can’t get out of work. By the sunny weekend, they all have heading on their way south for the winter.
