Description
Although Gatorland is a theme park, there are very good bird watching opportunities here. The 'Breeding Marsh' is a natural nesting area for birds. The many alligators give the birds a natural protection. Observations are possible from very close up. Among the birds you can observe are Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Roseate Spoonbill, Little Blue Heron, Great Blue Heron, White Ibis and Reddish Egret.
