City - Horn Island State - MISSISSIPPI Country - United States
About
While planning for the Horn Island trip, I never gave a minute thought about the reptiles that may inhabit an island 14 miles off of the shore of Mississippi. Landing on shore and unloading gear I saw what I thought may be sea turtle tracks, I am from Ohio, I followed the tracks easily and came up with this little fellow. I backed off and used the longest lens I own, a 500mm. How do these reptiles get out here? One of life's little mysteries, but I still slept like a newborn, gators and all.
