And the magic factories are two neighbors, Green Cay Wetlands and Wakodahatchee Wetlands. Nearly every species of heron and egret in North America forage only feet away, some of them in their dazzling breeding displays. We exit the car and enter magic factory number two. And this is where magic happens from time to time.
