I see at least one or two every day (when I am here in Palm Beach, especially in the winter months). It really became noticeable about 10 years ago. I don’t think I ever saw one in the wild in the ‘90s or earlier. They are becoming less afraid of humans; you have to come pretty close to even scare them into moving. I’ve jumped them when they are on the dock, and they will jump into the water (intracoastal) and swim. You can pick them off with an air gun; fully acceptable, as they are considered a nuisance.
