Birdy birdy

This little lorikeet was sound asleep when I entered the aviary. Don't worry, it woke up soon enough...

Snake by the water

I haven't taken the time to figure out what kind of snake this was. It was pretty far away (my favorite kind of snake!).

Zoo Days

I took these photos at a nearby zoo. I wish I could say that I had stumbled across them in the wild but some of these photos I met get call out on. Giraffe, in my backyard? Ha!

What a strange idea the giraffe. They have the same amount of neck-bones that we do, they're only much longer. I've always enjoyed them.

Vultures

These are considered by many to be disgusting, nasty birds and epitomize the scum of life. I happen to think they are graceful and beautiful birds. Maybe I'm the only one that really watches them?

Osprey

These are fairly abundant here, as well. I really enjoy (obviously) the wildlife here. It isn't uncommon for a group of Ibis to run across your lawn at any given moment.

Sand Hill Cranes

These are pretty large birds and they are protected. Yes, they taste like chicken...

Damsels

I really enjoy these. Much like when I was in Japan, there are thousands to watch.
