ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Thursday was a bright, sunny day so  naturally it was head to the Alligator Farm to check out the latest "family"  happenings. 
     The cattle egrets were making a showing. They are sort of dull most of the time but with breeding plumage and  colors they get to show off a bit.
     In another part of the park the sun was just right on a scarlet macaw who had no problem posing.
