This bird made me laugh. He squinted his eyes like he thought he would blend in or something. No blending in to be had for Mr. Fluorescent.
It was a beautiful day for walking around the zoo. I was bummed that the Pallas Cat, my favorite animal, wasn't out. I hope he is okay.
Also notably absent was the prairie dog exhibit. Not sure what happened there. But at least Pierce's favorite animal, the snow leopard, was still around. Sorry I don't have any pictures of him. I don't like taking their picture when they're behind bars. I feel kind of bad for them. Even though they are healthy and well-tended. It's just not quite natural, is it?
Pierce got to pet a ferret, and for the first time, held back from petting a snake. He said he didn't want to get any bacteria. That's a new one!

I love the elephants. It is fun to watch them, and they are so huge up close! We don't go to the zoo a lot up here in Maine, although we do have one, but we love Busch Gardens in Tampa and the Animal Kingdom at Disney :-)
i don't think i could pick just one ... fun trip. wow, great pics. ( :
I love reading what Pierce is saying.
Always monkeys.
We did a zoo field trip at the end of the year too. Fun, fun!!
I like the Flamingos in the Florida zoo. We don't have those here though.
Your pictures are fun!
Great shots, Lisa! I'm with Pierce. I don't want bacteria either. hehe!
lol didn't want to get any bacteria! that is hilarious! i love the hippos, elephants, otters, polar bears! and spider monkeys! the boys were supposed to go to the nc zoo for their 5th grade field trip but it was rained out...thankfully we had just been to the pittsburgh zoo a couple of weeks before so they weren't that disappointed!
love the lizard! very cool scarlet bird, too!
Looks fun Lisa ! Oh by the way it's a lion !
I love the little prairie dogs, too! Also the birds. WHAT is that orange duck??? Seriously, I have NEVER seen anything like it? Maybe one of the kids wandered in with a marker...
He didn't want to get any bacteria? Oh lordy... kids do say the funniest things... LOL
That bright bird is awesome! I don't think I've ever seen one like that before. I like the big cats at the zoo. The lions are probably my favorite.
That looks like a fun day. That squinting bird is funny!
Your pictures are amazing and I can't believe the color of that duck!
Ha, no don't let the boy come in contact with any bacteria!
Pierce is so cute and smart!
You took some great photos. I'm with you on the bars--I don't like seeing animals behind bars, even if I know they're well taken care of. I feel sorry for them.
Hmmm...bacteria??? That's a good one...wonder who he's been talking to...Mia told me the other day that ticks (get this) bite your head and neck but nowhere else because that happened to her friends!...:)JP
I also have very mixed feelings about zoos. It's especially hard to watch the Big Cats pace around their enclosures. I know zoos do good work, and the animals here at the Portland Oregon Zoo are very well cared for, but...
An nope, no hiding for Mr. Orangey. :). I'm glad Pierce was able to pat a ferret. They're adorable.
I love that Pierce didn't want to get any "bacteria". That is too cute. :)
We haven't been to the zoo in a long time but probably should. :)
I love the elephants but now I want one of those birds in your top photo, it is very cool. B
Mr. Florescent??? What the heck is he? a flamingo??? hmmmm
That pink bird sure was pink! No hiding for it for sure! lol
WoW you got some amazing pictures!! I love the zoo, I don't think I could pick a favorite animal, I just adore all of them!!
What a fun day Its always a delight to see such special color birds, and animals that you don't usually see.
We get excited to look through those lens thing so you can see more stuff.
love

I may be a bit biased, but I like the Bears. After that, kangaroos and giraffes.
Blessings and Bear hugs!

Those pics are beautiful, Lisa! Great shots. And great colors!!
We're personally in love with the polar bears. :)
Cute pictures! What a fun field trip!
That first bird just didn' t look real ...amazing color.
My kid would say the kangaroo. :)
Your photos are great Lisa! I haven't been to a zoo in ages.
