The birds on this page are at the High island rookery. The rookery is an island that is literally patrolled by alligators gliding through the water waiting to devour possums and raccoons hoping to get fresh eggs. In these first pictures, you see Snowy Egrets with the black legs and cattle egrets with the brown breeding plumage. Look carefully at these photos and see who may different types of birds you can see. Can you see the babies poking their heads out of the nest? The long lace like feathers of a heron trying to impress his girlfriend? How many nests make this little island home? The bright pink bird are Roseate Spoonbills, The bright pink color comes from tiny shellfish in their diet, these feathers become brighter in the spring to attract a mate.
