I spent the afternoon wandering around Broward County's newest park named Long Key Natural Area that opened up in Davie, FL on March 14 2008.
It sits on the old site of a long ago famous restaurant called the "Kapok Tree" which actually sat on an even older site for the short lived "Pioneer City Theme Park" from the 1960's .
It offers a beautiful rookery at its entrance that host a dozen or so nesting Egrets & Herons such as Great Egrets, Cattle Egrets, Snowy Egrets as well as Tricolored Herons, Green Herons & more!
It also offers a good oppurtunity for Macro photography. Here are a few from last week.

I know this will be a regular destination this season as the 8 plus Great Egret Nest are all active and there are even chicks hatched and begging for food at this time!
