A month ago we went to San Francisco Zoo and I never got around to posting pictures. So here they are because NO MORE CHRISTMAS CAROL POSTS. I could've posted probably twice as many pics as you see here, but I decided to just do the ones that best show off the 18X ZOOM on my shiny new PANASONIC LUMIX FZ-35. ::smug:: As always, images are available in MUCH BIGGER.
I always love African crowned cranes; when I was little I called them "sun birds" because they have a sun on their head :) Too bad there wasn't a place to get a more close-up view of them. This picture is from like 30 yards away.
In Chinese I think they call these "pearl pheasants". I just like how this guy is standing here like a mafia boss or a
cassowary that got put in a dryer or something.
Exhibit A to why bird-watchers love this camera! :P
