I was excited to finally get a picture of this species. They are rascals. They hide and watch us long before we see them. I heard them calling so i just worked the area for a while using the "grazing" technique to appear just like any other animal. Eventually one came out in partial view and I got some shots. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed the day.

Very nice shot of a very shy fellow. I am around these guys constantly when I'm in the keys and have very few shots. Well done Greg
