From the St. Augustine gator farm rookery, every stage from eggs to half grown chicks. The smaller herons and egrets are just getting started, the stork and great egret chicks are growing like crazy.
I should have gone earlier, the light would have been better for catching white feather details.

Thanks, I wish all human mothers were as dedicated as this bunch are. The males are hauling in food too!

I have no idea why you say that.
Your pictures are a Godsend, whenever you take them.
God love you for posting such beautiful pictures.
It's distracting, and I love it!

Wonderful pictures to wake up & see first thing in the morning... I have a huge blue heron trying to eat my koi fish from my pond. I don’t know how many fish he got before I got the net over the pond.

We were there last summer. It was worth every penny. My running commentary during the tortoises mating embarassed my kids horribly.

How could the feather detail be any better than the last picture?
