We were extremely surprised to find an alligator had walked himself from the marsh pond to the salt marsh to do a little, uh, actually, a lot of fishing. The surprising part was that it’s unusual to see an alligator both in the salt marsh, and also feeding so enthusiastically. We were surprised as well, to see fish (presumably mullet) as large as a foot long with some even larger, in a relatively small shallow area of the salt mash. I don’t know if, or how, the alligator would know those fish were in there but he sure seemed thrilled about it! Just a short note for those wondering, the alligators do not generally live in salt water but will be happy to cruise over there for a visit if it means tasty fish or their favorite blue crab await. In addition, there was so much going on, expect to see a part 2 and likely 3 of the event coming soon.
