I hadn't planned a trip today, but my grandson needed to get to school early, for an ROTC drill, and I ended up at the gator farm.

I've loaded some pics to my Photobucket, a lot more still to process. The smaller herons and egrets are just starting to nest and sit eggs, I'll go back next month for more.

You’ve got to see the place this time of year to believe it.

Great pictures. I see these around the golf course all the time. I also have seen an odd bird that is pretty big. I think it is a coot or something. I also see an Osprey.

Ah what a neat thing - been working on a project all day and it is time for something refreshing. I really appreciate your pictures, and the time it takes to get them.
