Much of a cypress swamp is rather shallow water (often just 6-18" deep)
and pretty densely covered with vegetation. Not suitable for gators who
like deeper and more open water. You're not likely to see a gator in
the swamp until the water opens out into deeper, open space often
created by the gator himself and referred to as a "gator hole". As the
swamp dries up in the dry season (now) the small fish and other water
loving critters get forced into the hole as the only place where there
may be water. The gator eats well then until his hole dries up. I
won't likely see a gator unless I venture out into the hole or the area
around the hole which I'm not likely to do... at least with just a 28mm
lens. I might be under water by that time too. Might be 6 or 8 foot
deep out there.
