Many of the birds were still sitting on eggs at the bird rookery at Gatorland in Orlando in mid-May.

Some were still flirting.





Lots of different wild birds hanging out at the park including the great egret above that stole a hot dog from an alligator. You can feed the alligators here but half of the time the birds get the food quicker.

Pretty peacock.




The youngest baby birds at the rookery that morning. The baby snowy egrets were probably only a few days old.


The gators were getting frisky.

Seeing a baby gator up close.


This guy was taking a break before the crowds were on the boardwalk.



That is a one brave and/or hungry bird snatching a hot dog from the alligator. It’s lucky it didn’t get its feathers clipped!
Such a wonderful variety of wildlife in these captures.
Fascinating photos. My favorites are the ones of the baby egrets. Cuties!
