Blue and Yellow Macaw


While visiting my sister in Jacksonville, Florida we drove to St. Augustine and went to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm. These beautiful Macaws are residents there.

Scarlet Macaw


Tricolored Heron Chicks





At the St.Augustine Alligator Farm there is a wild bird rookery. The birds chose to nest here over the lagoon because the alligators keep away predators like racoons and oppossums. Today we saw Snowy Egret chicks, Great Egret chicks and Tricolored Heron chicks.
