What cool birds!!! What is it with alligators and water fowl getting along so well? I've never seen these before either, but they are definitely in the cute category. Good capture! Faved. Tom
I don't know what they are either, but I agree on the cute factor. They must not meet the gators taste buds? I thought they ate about everything. Tigs♥ =^..^=
If they were Indians I would say they were crows with the markings across their beak Owd Momma. Maybe they are a Crowduck. Anyway they are quite attractive and your photo did them justice.
Don't know what they are called but they look cute. Probably they help alligators in some way. Otherwise I cannot imagine that they will be safe near alligators.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
