Alligator Farm Rookery

Tri-Colored Heron
Roseate Spoonbill

















Great Egret and Chicks





Wood Stork
                                                      Road Trip, April 10, 2012.  The whole reason I went to the Alligator Farm was to see the rookery. After all, I had seen enough alligators for a lifetime at the Okefenokee Swamp last year.  I had heard that the rookery was full of nesting birds and it was - nesting birds, baby birds, big birds and little birds.  The trees were thick with giant white puffs of egrets and randomly there was the pink of the Roseate Spoonbill.  The huge wood stork was impressive with its dramatic black and white wings.
