We went back to the San Diego Zoo this weekend and I came home with some fun pictures. I think my favorite animals to look at were the White-fronted Bee-eater. Though the weaver birds in the same aviary exhibit were also impressive. Despite a short downpour of rain, I had a great time both seeing the animals and hanging out with friends.

Small pond surrounded by a railing full of bright pink flamingos.
I love how this flamingo pond is one of the first things you see when you enter the zoo. Always makes me happy to see them.
Two bright orange birds sitting on railings looking at the camera
These Andean Cock-of-the-rocks seemed eager to be photographed.
Large bear splayed out on a rock
Grizzly bear sploot for comedic effect
Koala bear sleeping in a fake tree with Eucalyptus leaves.

Three brown and white ducks folded over attending to their feathers
Birds doing bird things (White-faced Whistling-Ducks preening and oiling feathers)
6 penguins folded over also nibbling on their feathers in a black and white photo
Tuxedo birds also doing bird things
Dark green snake curving around a rounded rock under a palm branch
Quite a nasty/impressive looking Mang Mountain pit viper across from the pandas.
Large brown eagle with white on wing standing on a log above plants covering the ground
I always love seeing this massive Steller’s Sea-Eagle. Reminds me of the stray bird that made it’s way through New England a few years back.
Large, multi-tier, man-made waterfall with a path behind the falls.
Not animals, but I was impressed by this waterfall display. Also read about the wild reproductive cycle of fig wasps nearby.
