Description
At the St Augustine Gator Farm you can get quite close to these beautiful birds. During the mating season is the only time they have green coloring at the eyes, and the fine plumage. The walkway is about 5 or 6 ft wide to accommodate traffic in both directions, including wheel chairs. I'm not what you would call a real bird watcher, but I do love looking at Egrets and Herons.
Thank you for your visits and comments. God bless you all.

An excellent portrait!
Great shot of this beautiful bird...I didn't know they had green by their eyes, how cool is that?
Wonderful capture! I have a heron here that I am trying to catch. Just as I am ready to snap, he flies.
beautifully done brother. Likewise, I did not know about the green.
Wonderful capture with the mating colors. Dana P
