Went to Alligator River NWR in north eastern North Carolina for father's day. What a great day. The flies were thicker than I've ever seen them. I was slathered in Deep Woods Off and the deer flies were biting right through it. I think I'm anemic now. I might have malaria, who knows. I was bitten so much, I actually had blood running on my legs. But the place lived up to its name. I saw more Alligators today than any past trip. And lots of other stuff, too. Lots of bears about.  Front paw.  Rear foot.  A nice family in newly planted soy.  _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

This poor girl was absolutely tormented by flies. That's what all those white dots are. There were so many flies, it threw off my auto-focus.    Mr. Owl didn't seem fazed by the bugs.    _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength—the marrow of Nature." - Henry David Thoreau | |||

I found some Red Wolf tracks. The Red Wolf is the rarest large mammal in North America.   This doe actually walked about 50 yards across a field to within 30 feet of me. No doubt for me to swat that horsefly in her skinny rump.  Peekaboo.  _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.

Alligator River finally lived up to its name. I haven't seen a gator there since 2018. Today, I saw four. All just a few years old. Number one:    Number two, and the biggest of the day.

Cool The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||
