| A young Rose-ringed Parakeet |
I arrived at 9 am, just as the Naples Zoo opened its doors, to engage in some birdwatching. The zoo's impressive tropical gardens are a reliable spot for observing the feral Rose-ringed Parakeets that nest there.

Additionally, there's a rookery of nesting wading birds on an island within Alligator Bay. The presence of alligators serves a practical purpose: it protects the eggs and nestlings from predators like raccoons, which would have to brave the gator-infested waters to reach the rookery.
