ALLIGATOR NESTS ARE FLOODING!

This is a young female Alligator; she's small but feisty! Alligator nests need to be high and dry, if the nest floods; the eggs die. If some of the eggs are located above the waterline those eggs can survive. This year the water is rising very fast at Lake Trafford (where this photo was taken), and a lot of the nests are getting flooded out; like this nest. Doesn't look good for this young female's nest. This photo was provided by my good friend, Captain Fred Robins, airboat driver extraordinaire!
