Description
Fishing Tricolored Heron by D Hackett
I had fun watching this Tricolored Heron as it searched for a meal at the St Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park. Tricolored herons have an interesting way of hunting–they can often be seen chasing after fish, running through the shallow water, stalking prey in a crouching position, and will sometimes hold its wings up to create shade as a way to trick fish into coming closer.
The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park began in the late nineteenth century as a small exhibition of Florida reptiles and soon became a quintessential Florida attraction. Today it functions as a modern zoo serving the public and the scientific community with educational shows and exhibits, important research, and worldwide conservation efforts. The Alligator Farm’s history as an attraction and an accredited zoo is nearly as exciting as zipping across the Alligator Lagoon on Crocodile Crossing, the park’s thrilling zip-line attraction.
