Rounding out the birds I saw at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm rookery back in mid-April are some birds that, I’m sorry to say, I don’t always stop to photograph.
Tricolored Herons, Snowy Egrets and Eurasian Collared Doves can be found just about everywhere in Florida, and there were plenty of them at the rookery. But I have never seen tricolors nesting before, and that was a real treat.
The wind whipped the feathers of the snowies in photogenic shapes. And there was some nice lighting for the doves, too.
I hope to make another trip to the rookery soon, and who knows what I might end up photographing.
