Alligator, Sabine National Wildlife Refuge, Hackberry, LA

During a recent visit to Southeast Texas, I took a day trip to visit the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana.  As a child I visited this spot often and always saw several alligators during each trip.  I was so excited to share this experience with my nephew, but on this day we only spotted one alligator!  All in all it was a beautiful, sunny day on the Gulf Coast with lots of wildlife viewing including rabbits and several species of birds.
