Today’s post has gone to the birds.
Black-crowned Night Heron Juvenile
I don’t normally use pictures with fences and other evidence of being in an exhibit, but the two bald eagles are at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park because they were injured in the wild. The San Diego Zoo rehabilitated them but their injuries are such that they cannot hunt effectively in the wild, so if they were to be released back into the wild, they probably would starve to death or be easily captured by a predator. At the San Diego Zoo, they get food, medical care, and lots of visitors (like me!) ogling at them and taking their pictures.

Wonderful shots, friend. We had cormorants in a nearby pond once. What a show they are.

There’s a lake a half mile from me where I go walking and biking quite often. That’s where I see most of the cormorants, coots, and mallards. They are everywhere, probably because everyone feeds them……….LOL

These are excellent! I’ve seen great blue herons in Arizona… they’re very majestic.

I’ve never seen flamingos with ruffled feathers before.

The ones with ruffled feathers were, shall we say, excited, and I’ll just leave it there. This is, after all, a family site………..LOL

I love Flamingos, they are so bright and colorful and were the first zoo birds that my sons saw when they were just little guys.

Fabulous, fabulous photos! Thanks for sharing, they are just gorgeous. I love looking at birds, everywhere I go, but I don’t get to see with my eyes the beautiful detail shown in your art.

Great pics. I really like the Blue Heron and The Egret since the Egret tends to fly away quickly – in my experience if you start to get too close.
