Migrate over to the St. Augustine
Alligator Farm Zoological Park
Spoonies and Herons and Parrots, oh my!
the Cattle egrets. Green herons choose nesting spots deep within the trees in
the Land of Crocodiles. The nesting season begins in late February and lasts
through July. During the peak season in May, birds can be photographed in all
stages of nesting: displaying, incubating, and the raising of their young.
Along with the collection of valuable migratory bird data and the admiration
by the staff and visitors of these spectacular wading birds, the Alligator Farm
also participates in supporting conservation programs. Among our favorites
are the USFW Wood Stork Recovery Program and Audubon of Florida’s Roseate
Spoonbill Banding Project.
Photo Pass memberships can be purchased online or at the door for $89.95.
This zoo membership provides unlimited access for one year, early entry into
the park before general guest admission, and the ability to enter our annual
photo contest!
Photographers visiting the
St. Augustine Alligator Farm
Zoological Park are astounded by
the vast number of photographic
opportunities provided by the
hundreds of nesting wading birds. As
a member of the Great Florida Birding
Trail, this accredited zoo has been
selected for its excellent bird watching
and bird education opportunities.
In the mid 1970’s the Alligator Farm
expanded its Native Swamp exhibit
and inadvertently developed an

outstanding natural bird rookery.
A winding boardwalk allows for the rare opportunity to view wild nesting birds
at extremely close distances, at times literally within arm’s reach. Since the
swamp was expanded, it has grown to become one of the most accessible
natural bird rookeries in Florida.
The two-acre exhibit is home not only to American alligators, American
crocodiles and native turtles, but many different species of wading birds. Twelve
species frequent the swamp, with eight of those nesting and producing young.
Great egrets, Roseate spoonbills, and the endangered Wood stork are the first to
arrive, followed by Snowy egrets, Tri-colored and Little Blue herons, and lastly,
