Slow Down for Alligators!

When we visit St. Marks we typically drive slowly down the Lighthouse Road looking for wildlife and pulling over when photo opportunities are available.  It's a comfortable way to see the swamp and all of its creatures without putting snake averse members of the family in jeopardy.  But, people have to slow down!  Critters have a right to cross the road in peace!

Here's a Coyote we saw at St. Marks NWR
Unfortunately, this coyote was hit and killed by a car a few days later.  It was sad to drive by his carcass.

Of course, I think this huge alligator might leave your car by the side of the road.
