I spotted this American alligator in the Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge near Port Isabel, Texas. This is an excellent refuge, and anybody who visits the area (if interested in wildlife, including birds) should pay a visit.

American alligator (3ft) Laguna Atascosa NWR Los Fresnos Texas 2011-11-13.
Catching small fish by corralling them against the bank with its right front leg. Note the small fish jumping over its head. The alligator was on the North side of the bridge on 106 road. Lots of turtles were around as well. Sorry about the movement the wind was brutal that day.
