I spent a chilly winter day wandering around the zoo practicing my photography. The animals were not overly active, but I managed to get a few photos to share. Enjoy!

| Female Mexican Grey Wolf. She was watching something in the grass. |
 |
| Same wolf, different angle. |
 |
| A pair of the wolves. I liked the cinnamon cast the one on the right has. |
 |
| American White Pelicans enjoying the day. As our winter has been unusually warm, they still have open water to swim in. |
 |
| A Pelican close-up. The bump on the end of it's bill is a sign that the bird is old enough to breed in the next breeding season. After the breeding season ends, this bump will fall off. |
Of course I spent most of my time in the aviary area : ) Some beautiful birds I will never see in the wild.
 |
| A White Crested Turaco native to Central Africa. |
 |
| Blue Crowned Motmot |
 |
| An Oriole Warbler with a small stick in it's mouth for a nest. They are native to West Africa. |
 |
| White Crested Laughing Thrush native to SE Asia. |
 |
| Two Green Wing Macaws |
 |
| A gorgeous Red-crested Cardinal. These birds are native to central South America, but have been introduced in Hawaii. |
 |
| I enjoyed capturing the expression of the this orangutan. |

The sweetest baby orangutan! He only peeked his head for a minute, but I was able to take a few shots.
