Egret Rookery — a coastal-style wading-bird colony inland: dense stands of nesting great egrets, herons and cormorants. Best at early morning or late afternoon for directional golden light and active flight scenes. Accessible from roadside viewing areas in Gadsden; modest parking nearby. No permit usually required but keep distance—rookery protection matters. Peak season spring–summer (nesting). Expect mosquitoes and uneven ground; bring gaiters and insect repellent.
