Field Notes

Habitat:

Inhabit coastal, brackish, and salt-water habitats. Range: both coast of central and south America from southern Mexico to Ecuador and Venezuela, also in the larger Antilles and Southern Florida.

Notes:

Lucky day. It was pretty chilly for South Florida this morning and I had the botanical park pretty much to myself for a long while. I've seen a croc here on a few rare occasions and never when I've had my good camera. But today all the planets aligned. It was tagged on the tail.
