Sneaky Alligator

This bird was in the bush this way all morning. First I thought he was showing off his lovely feathers, then I thought he was stuck. Next time I checked he was gone, I was relieved until I zoomed in on the photo. See Mr Sneaky Gator back there? I hope he didn't make a snack out of this bird. Do alligators do that? I hope to see the bird tomorrow morning, I think he was a regular at the pond. If I zoom in all the way on the gator he looks hungry. And mean.
