Catch a wild moment.

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park’s Wild Bird Rookery presents a unique opportunity for photographers to capture intimate images of nesting Florida seabirds. Roseate spoonbills, wood storks, great egrets, snowy egrets, and several heron species swoop in each year to raise their young in the trees over our Alligator Swamp. The wooden walkway through this natural wetlands exhibit provides up-close viewing of the undisturbed birds. Adult birds displaying brilliant breeding plumage and downy chicks popping curious heads just above the walls of their nest grant amateur and professional photographers with world-class photo sessions.

Our Annual Photo Contest awards the top shots taken at the Wild Bird Rookery throughout the breeding and nesting season. Don’t miss the chance to have your work judged by an experienced photographer, and to snap the photo of a lifetime at our Wild Bird Rookery!
