Winter 2017--Myakka Part 3

This Bald Eagle was resting beside Upper Lake when we walked out
on the Bird Walk. It later took off and was fishing beside a juvenile.
We saw the juvenile catch a fish, at which point the adult chased and
(unsuccessfully) tried to take away the fish.

A Ranger told us this was a Stilt. Experts, do you agree?

The alligators along the River Hike were numerous and the most active
 we have ever seen. They were constantly swimming and there were a couple of
brief altercations as territories were crossed.

I get my big white birds confused. I think this is a Great Egret.
Can anyone set me straight or confirm?

The jungle-like Myakka River

The same Ranger as above said this was a Limpkin.

You can see the shadow of the Tower on the treetops.
