Description

This was taken at the St Augustine Alligator Farm in the spring. It's a great time to see these birds up close.

Yes! That is an egg in the nest. I was able to follow the nesting season up to right before the chicks fledged.

Thank you MrsRatbag. It was actually quite easy. The St Aug Gator Farm has a lagoon like enclosure for some of its bigger residents. They put a walkway over the middle of it and there are a lots low trees and shrubs close to it. I was about 6 to 8 ft from the egret when I took the shot.
