Daughter Chrissy home for a visit took some nice photos round about SW Florida. The portrait of a Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) is my favorite. Brown Pelican link<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Here’s a Cooter Turtle basking in the sun along a small creek along the Myakka River near Sarasota. Cooters are confusing to ID, but I think this one is an Eastern River Cooter (Pseudemys concinna concinna). Cooter Turtle link<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I believe this to be a Common Baskettail Dragonfly (Epitheca cynesura), but will stand corrected for any expert advice! Common Baskettail Dragonfly<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Chrissy “shot” this fast moving little warbler in Myakka River State Park. I believe it’s a Palm Warbler (Dendronica palmarum). Palm Warbler link<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

American Alligators (Alligator missippienensis) basking along the Myakka River, Sarasota, Florida. American Alligator link<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
