The rookery at the the Alligator Farm in St, Augustine if very refreshing, particularly after looking at alligators and vultures.  It is populated by a variety of wading birds.  The first question that came to mind was, "Why do these birds congregate like this?"  As the farm’s website declares, “these birds seek out evening roosts above the alligators, knowing that alligators will keep tree-climbing predators away.”

The pictures are a random sampling and there will be more posted later.
