Alligator Farm 2004


The St. Augustine Alligator Farm (Florida) has a bird Rookery that is quite incredible.
It is a nesting area primarily of Great Egrets, Wood Storks, Green Herons, Tri-Colored Herons,
Cattle Egrets, Blue Herons, Black-crowned night Herons and Roseate Spoonbills plus more.
There are just loads of Alligators there but I go primarily for the birds. May is the peak season
when there will be Chicks of all kinds in probably over a hundred nests. If you like this Gallery please vote for it.
Thanks for visiting! Rod

You're obviously as good with birds as you are with the space shuttle.
Great images

Fantastic collection! Educational too...didn't know about "presenting a stick" in egret mating. Interesting.

Wow Rod, great work. I'm impressed to see all those photographers with their fancy rigs and you're shooting with a Digital Rebel (my kind of camera)! Great action photos of the egret in plume and the mating storks.
