When I headed out looking for gators to shoot, I found an awesome area near the Everglades that had tons of wildlife all around it. I have never been a huge bird person but I was so intrigued seeing the way the birds and gators coexisted in the swamp like nothing I had ever seen. The gator in the water was hard to see at first but once I saw it, it made the two birds in the background seem so much more complimentary to the scene.
