Elaine and I ventured into Six Miles Cypress Slough this morning with the hopes of finding some migrants, the slough was pretty quiet bird wise and I ended up going home with Gator pictures - oh well, you know the saying about planning things - the outcome is at times quite different than the best of plans.
In any event - let me introduce you to Stompy

It's nice to provide a man-made platform for the wildlife but at times building materials can cause more harm than good. |
