The Alligator Farm Zoological Park in St. Augustine Florida is one of the Oldest Zoos in the country. Founded in 1893 and still thriving today. Even though all of these images were taken from within the Zoo, the birds seen here are all wild birds.

Above the lagoon where the Alligators live is where wild birds nest. These birds seek out evening roosts above the alligators knowing that the alligators will keep tree-climbing predators away. The Zoo has built a boardwalk above the lagoon where visitors can look down into the nests of native birds who pay no attention to the photographers.

If you were to purchase any of these images, the watermark will not be on the print.
