OK... I need to know what is wrong with my egrets! I've been checking on them every other day and so far there is no nest building going on and for that matter most of the birds are still gone too. I might just have to bring some of my birds over to Gatorland so your birds can teach my birds how to shake a tail feather. I love the deep green you captured around the eyes. This seems to appear only during the spring. Well done Robbie! :judge: :judge: :judge: :judge:

Thanks Charles,I went to Alligator Farm today and there was no birds there!!!Only a few,man was I disappointed but I went to the beach and the Lighthouse to shoot.That ;Deep Great' around the eyes occurs during 'mating season'!!Going back to Gatorland on Friday,got an 'Annual Pass' for $39.Will be easier for me to visit than Alligator Farm.

So these were from last year then?

So far this year I go out every few days and there is no much more than a few flocks of gulls and mudhens. I have seen two hawks this past week and of all things - a river otter. As soon as the fun starts I'll be posting whatever critters I come across.

They have an early start. Do they stock the lakes/ponds with fish?
