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.
