When I visited the St. Augustine Alligator Farm’s rookery in April, there were a few babies birds and a few nests. Things changed quickly.

During an Easter morning visit to St. Augustine Beach, I came across some pretty recognizable shorebirds.

Tricolored Herons, Snowy Egrets and Eurasian Collared Doves can be found everywhere in Florida – and there were plenty in the rookery.

There were several nests that had babies in them of different ages – ranging from newly hatched to some that had hatched weeks ago.

Something very cool I found out is that some of the nesting Roseates at the rookery were actually born there years ago.
