Birds at Brookgreen Gardens - March 20/14

And here are some birds at Brookgreen Gardens.

There was a pen of Dominique chickens in the farm area.

In an aviary there were a LOT of  Black-crowned Night Herons.  This is an immature one.....

.....and this is a mature one.

Also in the aviary were snowy egrets.......

.....and cattle egrets.

This is an amazing bird that was rescued - the bald eagle....

.....and his mate, also rescued, was sitting on an egg, and was not impressed with visitors.

Not a very good shot of a great horned owl - in a cage.

This turkey vulture was hanging around the outside of a cage that had turkey vultures.

And one of my favorites - in another aviary - the barred owl.
