Birds, Words, Pics + TV
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.
The big crowds that came daily to marvel at all the birds nesting or hatching have dissipated and the serene environment is back.
It took several visits to the same pond I saw them in last year before I came across these little ducks again, but the effort was worth it.
I took advantage of the time change to visit Orlando Wetlands before work on Monday, enjoying a spectacular cool morning and coming across two new-to-me birds there.
