So, we parked the car and started our walk. I always want to see what's around the next bend, to Lee's chagrin. But this time, it was worth it. I saw my first rookery ever, it was so exciting! On this walk we saw more of the yellow-rumped warblers, and a beautifully-colored Eastern bluebird. This is a bit out of focus, but you can envision the coloring.
We rounded several bends until we encountered the Ibis Pond, and the rookery! I was in seventh heaven. I saw several birds for the first time ever. Lee took all the photos. He has a 100-400mm zoom lens, which helps. Pictures speak louder than words, so here we go:

| White ibises (I think) |

 |
| A stately pair of Great Egrets |
 |
| Deceptively lazy-looking alligator |
|
|
 |
| Anhinga - an amazing bird with brilliant green eyes |
 |
| American coot |
