We spent 3 and a half days at The Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, Florida earlier in May. It has become very well known as a rookery for wading birds. There is a large lagoon with a boardwalk through it. Below are more alligators than one can count and above are nesting birds: egrets, herons, wood storks, spoonbills. The Macaw is in another area where they have other endangered and rare birds, tortoises, and more crocodilians. In fact, all 23 species of crocodilians are represented at The Alligator Farm, unlike anywhere else.

The birds and their babies and eggs were fascinating and the breeding plumage and displays eye-popping. It is a unique experience to see birds nesting this intimately.
