Denver Zoo

Jen and the kids took me to the Denver Zoo again, today. I suspect from the screams of delight that this baby giraffe might have been the hit of the zoo, and it was certainly cute:

For me, though, the highlight of the zoo continues to be their remarkable collection of birds. Though I suspect it’s been around for awhile, this is the first time I’ve noticed this Secretary Bird, one I might not have even noticed if it hadn’t appeared on the cover of one of Shelley Power’s books:

Though I think my favorite bird continues to be this East African Crowned Crane:

I’ve always wanted to see a secretary bird in person.

Nice pics, Loren.

Ooohhhh! The baby giraffe made me smile, I like the secreaty bird, too, but your capture of the crane is by far my favourite. I’m still catching my breath.
