Alligator Farm Rookery - St Augustine, FL

For a birder, this actually is an amazing place.   The park itself is home to numerous gators, including a white albino gator and a komodo dragon,

but the real attraction is the rookery.  In the spring, the birds come to roost in the trees,  protected from predators such as raccoons, opossums, and snakes.

Although the birds do lose some hatchlings to the alligators, their losses are far fewer than if predators raided their nests.
