American Alligator, roaring his mating song.

This male seemed to be the deepest bass vibrato in the area. The finer concentric circles in the water are from the vibration of his mating call. This behavior continues on into May when the mating begins, routinely in the evening. I don't usually photograph gators unless they are displaying an interesting behavior and this was one of those times.
