Now is one of the best times to visit the Audubon Swamp Garden at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.  The rookery comes alive as the mating season begins and the egrets put on a spectacular show as they attract mates and begin building nests.

A ticket to the garden costs $7 (kids under 6 get in free.) Here's more details about the garden and a map.
