Among the nesting birds I saw at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm’s rookery in my mid-April visit were Great Egrets.
There were several nests that had babies in them of different ages – ranging from what looked like newly hatched to some that had hatched weeks ago and were already in their juvenile stages.
I was able to photograph the egrets in the morning after sunrise and in the evening before sunset. I think it gave me a good variety of photos of these regal white birds.
Florida’s Snail Kites are remarkable birds of prey, even if their prey doesn’t move that fast. They had to adapt quickly in order to survive.
This is the time of year that huge flocks of American Robins can be spotted flying around Central Florida as they settle in for the winter.
Named after A. B. Newton, Winter Garden’s first mayor, the park sits on the north shore of Lake Apopka.
