    At the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, hundreds of birds preen and feed alongside two juvenile alligators in a shallow pool. The majority of the birds feeding here are great egrets. They consume primarily fish aside from fish, and they also eat crustaceans, frogs, salamanders, snakes, aquatic insects. The J.N. Darling National Wildlife Refuge, which is not a part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' South Florida Ecosystem Program, is representative of the work being done by federal and state agencies to restore and manage the South Florida ecosystem for wildlife conservation and safe habitat.
