Virtua Gallery - A photographic Journal

Another beautiful day and evening at Gatorland.

The pace of development is accelerating. Snowy Egret start to show their mating colors - they actually look quite interesting with their feet turning orange. Same for the Tri-colored Heron - their plumage start to show the the typical three pronged white feathers on their heads.

The Great White Egret however are fully at it - Nests over nests everywhere - many already with eggs. And showing off the beautiful mating plumage is going on everywhere.

The Woodstorks are busy building nests as well - 3 so far, that look as if they are a done deal - which is 3 times that of last year.

While present - the Roseate Spoonbills are not active building - it is however still pretty early in the season, with no Cattle Egret , Tri-colored Heron in numbers there yet.
