Calling all nature lovers and birding enthusiasts, The Venice Area Audubon Rookery is a well-known birding hot-spot and the place to go for some really exciting bird watching and photography. You can easily watch and photograph many birds from the shaded pavilion benches or take a walk around the perimeter of the Rookery Lake for a closer look. Nesting takes place from December to May and the rookery attracts a wide variety of herons and egrets, which can be observed as they go about courting, nesting, incubating eggs and raising their chicks. The Venice Area Audubon Society holds regular evening talks and lectures and entrance to the rookery is free of charge.
