Limpkin & Alligator standoff

Aramus guarauna & Alligator mississippiensis

Description:

I noticed the Limpkin in a defensive posture & squawking, then I noticed the gator lurking in front of it. Suddenly the Gator burst out of the water at the Limpkin, but missed. I was so greatful for the opportunity to witness this.
