May 25 - 27: Road Trip Again

We took off again on a three-day trip to visit Alligator Farm again for two days. We linked up with Karen and Liz and Suzie again and enjoyed their company at the Farm and for meals.

This egret appeared to be daring the alligators to eat him by landing on a piece of wood in the alligator-laden water. Another would fly low and dip his toes in the water.

The trees are full of birds but the reflections make exciting photographs.

There are a few, maybe two dozen, roseate spoonbills that visited the rookery morning and evening. They are having a tough time this year all over Florida due to the drought conditions.


The Farm also has some tortoises and these two males were a little cranky with each other!

After two days in St. Augustine, we moved on to Winter Haven for the night. Our goal was to see the concert at Cypress Gardens on Sunday night -- Weird Al Yankovich!
