March 11, 2024~ Venice Audubon Rookery, Florida

Birdwatching, bird photography, special friends and 75 degrees...... what more could you ask for!

The Venice Audubon Rookery Park allows visitors to view wildlife from benches in the shaded pavilion or walk around the small pond. The park is open to the public from dawn to dusk.

Our visit was a 'first time experience' for both Ron and me.

The nesting season (December through May) is the busiest time but visitors can observe wildlife year round. 

Alligators patrol the lake, keeping predators away from the birds. The bird selection for photography purposes was not numerous, but the experience in setting up, using my tripod, and focusing on the birds was tremendous!
