Other Chicks at Gatorland

Comorants usually nest so high in the tree, they are hard to photograph.  But I was able to get a shot at this nest by climbing the observation tower at Gatorland.  Up until now I hadn't really gotten a good look at the Comorant baby.

These Snowy Egret chicks have always been my favorite.  I like them as adults and I think the chicks are adorable.  They are delicate looking and so cute when they huddle together for warmth.



These baby Tri-Color Herons really know how to squawk.

Cattle Egrets - not very cute.  They are my least favorite, I think they are a little mean. 

The rookery is filled with the sounds of the White Egret chicks. 

Sounds of the Snowy Egret

I love to see - and hear - the colorful sights and sounds of mating season.  The vivid mating colors are more beautiful and the sounds that the Snowy Egret makes are comical.  It sounds like a turkey gobble.  Adorable.  They are one of my favorites.

Most of these were taken at St. Augustine last year, on our photography group weekend.  Our group planned a weekend trip to St. Augustine, great group and a lot of fun.
