So Many Birds at Mathews Beach Park, Ducks, Gulls, and Crows

Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle 2/10/2014

 This is not a zoo bird as far as I know.  

It was just hanging with the penguins.

You can feed the penguins at Woodland Park 

four fish for five dollars (while fish supplies last)   

11:00am - 2:00pm -- November - April

I didn't get to it this trip but I have 2 1/2 more months.

Here's that bird again.

I felt pretty voyeuristic photographing the following primates

sleeping, grooming, contemplating. Most people

would think it was an invasion of privacy to photograph

their heavy hairy uncles asleep on the couch. And that 

is basically what I did here. After all I am just an upright

primate with fingers that can take a picture and type a blog.

This is a mother giraffe with a child at her feet 

keeping dry inside a barn.
