April 2010 - this somewhat touristy area has one of the best bird rookeries in the state due to the protection offered by the alligators. Sure a nesting chick or two will fall and become lunch, but it also keeps the larger threat of raccoons and snakes away form the nests - a perfect habitat for breeding and rearing young.

    Excellent series of captures. The Alligator Farm is one of my favorite locations.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
