I went to Gatorland last Saturday and the weather was perfect. We got in when the park opened at 7:30 AM and I spent the next 7 hours photographing the birds in the rookery. There were hundreds of Great Egrets, and dozens of Snowy Egrets, Tri-colored Herons, Wood Storks and a few White Ibis, Blue Herons, Green Herons and the odd assortment of Vultures, Grackles and Sea Gulls.
Gatorland in Orlando is one of the premiere birding spots in Florida. It rivals the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine for numbers and diversity. The park is open from 7:30 AM to sunset during breeding season on Thurs, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Here is their website if your interested in more information or traveling to Orlando.
These are all full frame of with a slight crop, except for the GBH flight shot, which is about 50%. These were all handheld, and VC (Vibration Compensation) ON. Exposure settings and focal length are noted below each image. I hope you enjoy.
