Always the challenge to photograph the nesting birds with telephoto lenses with care to not be too close and disturb all wildlife!<\/p>\n<p>This post will mainly feature Herons, Storks and Anhinga. The nesting and feeding habitats of these birds are very close to predators such as snakes and Alligators. Amongst the marsh wetlands are Common Moorhen, Ibis, Rusty blackbirds, snake, and lizards that enjoy the rich feeding areas.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging people to visit their local parks and zoos, which embraces everything good about nature and provides families with insight to flora and fauna.<\/p>\n<p>Also try the 3D Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flagallerywraper\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><div class=\"flagallery phantom_skin\" id=\"FlaGallery_sc1_5\" style=\"width:800;margin-right: auto;\"><style type=\"text\/css\" class=\"flagallery_skin_style_import\">#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {width:200px; height:180px;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_MobileView .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {width:150px; height:135px;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_Container {margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {margin:8px 0 0 8px;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {padding:2px;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelBottom .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {padding-bottom:36px;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer,#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelBottom .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel {background-color:#ffffff;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer .flagPhantom_Thumb {opacity:0.9;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer:hover .flagPhantom_Thumb {opacity:1;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {border:1px solid #cccccc;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbContainer {box-shadow:0 0 5px -2px #cccccc;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel {color:#0b0b0b;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel a {color:#3695E7;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelInside .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel,#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelHover .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel {color:#ffffff;}#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelInside .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel a,#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelHover .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel a,#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelInside .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel a:hover,#FlaGallery_sc1_5 .flagPhantom_LabelHover .flagPhantom_ThumbLabel a:hover {color:#e7e179;}<\/style> <div class=\"flagPhantom_Container noLightbox\" style=\"opacity:0\"> <h3>Florida Marshes Herons Storks nesting<\/h3> <div class=\"flagPhantom_thumbsWrapper flagPhantom_ThumbScale flagPhantom_LabelHover\"> <div class=\"flagPhantom_ThumbContainer flagPhantom_ThumbLoader\" data-id=\"190\" data-ratio=\"1\" data-title=\"Great Blue Heron Olympus - Nikon\" data-views=\"39\" data-likes=\"0\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/graemesimpsonimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/flagallery\/florida-marshes-herons-nesting\/webview\/p5029839a.jpg\" class=\"flagPhantom_Thumb\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"noLazy\" src=\"https:\/\/graemesimpsonimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/flagallery\/florida-marshes-herons-nesting\/thumbs\/thumbs_p5029839a.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/graemesimpsonimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/flagallery\/florida-marshes-herons-nesting\/webview\/p5029839a.jpg\" alt=\"Great Blue Heron Olympus - Nikon\"\/><\/a> <div class=\"flagPhantom_ThumbLabel\"> <span class=\"flagPhantom_ThumbLabel_title\">Great Blue Heron Olympus - Nikon<\/span><\/div> <div style=\"display:none;\" class=\"flagPhantom_Details\"> <div class=\"flagPhantom_description\"> <div class=\"flagPhantom_title\">Great Blue Heron Olympus - Nikon<\/div> <div class=\"flagPhantom_text\"><p>This adult Heron has caught a Tilapia fish in the salt marshes.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"flagPhantom_ThumbContainer flagPhantom_ThumbLoader\" data-id=\"181\" data-ratio=\"1.1764705882353\" data-title=\"Tricolor Heron \/ Olympus - Nikon Imaging\" data-views=\"26\" data-likes=\"0\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/graemesimpsonimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/flagallery\/florida-marshes-herons-nesting\/webview\/p5019254g.jpg\" class=\"flagPhantom_Thumb\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"noLazy\" src=\"https:\/\/graemesimpsonimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/flagallery\/florida-marshes-herons-nesting\/thumbs\/thumbs_p5019254g.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/graemesimpsonimages.com\/blog\/wp-content\/flagallery\/florida-marshes-herons-nesting\/webview\/p5019254g.jpg\" alt=\"Tricolor Heron \/ Olympus - Nikon Imaging\"\/><\/a> <div class=\"flagPhantom_ThumbLabel\"> <span class=\"flagPhantom_ThumbLabel_title\">Tricolor Heron \/ Olympus - Nikon Imaging<\/span><\/div> <div style=\"display:none;\" class=\"flagPhantom_Details\"> <div class=\"flagPhantom_description\"> <div class=\"flagPhantom_title\">Tricolor Heron \/ Olympus - Nikon Imaging<\/div> <div class=\"flagPhantom_text\"><p>An adult caring for eggs with a delicate touch of the bill.
