Watch for various forms of wildlife (humans included) or just observe the weather conditions behind our home. Thanks for visiting. Click on sun for current weather data & radar image According to the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission; "Alligators are cold-blooded reptiles whose metabolic rate increases or decreases as the water and air temperatures around them change. During cooler months alligators are generally lethargic and don't move around much. By the beginning of April when the weather starts to warm, alligators become active, feeding more, looking for new territories and mating. This period of high activity may extend into October in the southern parts of the state." There are fewer large alligators in the canal at this time. This is probably a result of trapping due to resident's complaints. There are, however, many smaller ones which will be difficult to see on the webcam.
