Alligator Farm, St. Augustine, Fl: morning or evening?

Kevan · 26th of April 2012 (Thu)

So I'm down here about to make another visit and am thinking the late afternoon might make for some good lighting. Anyone have thoughts as to bird activity and late in the day shooting? Last time I was there we went in the morning.

Thanks

I heard mornings are best

I was there April 2011, in the morning the light was beautiful and the bird activity was awesome

Well, not one of the better visits. I had my old man in tow and he wasn't particularly ramped to get there early. So we were there among the throng, late morning, I think most feeding had been completed and all that remained was preening, resting, and turning one's back to the camera. Photos to follow, but I'm not dazzled.

It seems morning for the Alligator farm is 9AM & evening is 6PM

Are the birds accessible before the gates open?
