Birds are much more resilient than people, they will bounce back much quicker. The alligator farm lost a few trees, but no major nesting trees from what I could tell.

Great pics! I hope to go to Florida someday, but not in hurricane season. Do you think it has affected the birds?

Thanks for adding the macaw pics. The blue and gold is Buddy and the green wing is Annie. Buddy is crazy!

I have more of the macaws, i will add them for you. They crack me up.

I was happy to see more pictures of the rookery added and especially of the macaws. You do such a wonderful job!

Hey Paul, Again thanks for your comments on my images... I do enjoy checking your gallery every time it pops up to see what's new. I wish my flight shots were as good as yours... good luck in the contest. Best wishes Frank Kocsis digital_neophyte

these photos are outstanding. i hope to visit the allegator farm myself in 2005. i live in houston & went to visit high island rookery from end of 03-04 thru early 06-04. the nests are a little farther than these. there is lots of nesting going at high island also. i hope we can foster more & more sites so we can all see life in the making & the wonderful beauty of the birds. Thank you for posting these great photos.

I love this gallery. I work at the farm and enjoy these wonderful photos. I especially like to see the pictures of the animals that I work with.

Hi Paul, This gallery is pretty amazing and I love sharp bird pictures like this. Stumbled here in my search for 400/5.6 samples and I really hope my new lens can perform this well. Did you use a tripod for these shots or do you find the lens handholdable? Thanks/Anna

The alligator farm is great for this sort of photography, i had no idea i could get so close to nesting birds. Don't worry that you can't go, i live 45 minutes from the farm and have bought a photo pass, i plan to go atleast once a week until the chics have left the nest and will update this gallery with new pics every week, so keep checking. thanks

Isn't the Alligator Farm great for this sort of photography? Your pictures are great and make me wish I could return this year, something that unfortunately isn't feasible. If you are interested you can find my galleries at pbase.com/punky1126. thanks for posting all of your lovely photos! Natalie
