Description
Finally after several shots the baby chick looked in my direction! This photograph was taken at the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, Florida. During the Spring months hundreds of wading birds (egret,herons,spponbills,woodstorks) come to a natural habitat to mate, build nests and birth their young. The alligators in the Alligator Swamp below keep away the animals that might climb trees and threaten the eggs or babies. It is a photographer's dream!
