Easter Sunday at the San Diego Zoo
I go to the San Diego Zoo quite often for one or two hours, but on special holidays — New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas — I'll go for a longer period, sometimes up to six hours, and enjoy everything that the Zoo has to offer.
Here are a few pictures from today's trip to the Zoo.
The flamingos were busy building their nests. They look about half finished, but it seems they are getting a later start this year. Maybe it has something to do with global warming....
The following is a Mandarin duck, by far the prettiest of the ducks at the Zoo:
The big cats are always my favorite — Malayan tigers, mountain lions, African lions, snow leopard, jaguar, Chinese leopard, serval, fishing cat — but today only one big cat — the lynx — was cooperating. Might have something to do with global warming....
Someone — I won't disclose who but his initials are R.U.S.S.E.L. R.A.Y. — tried to convince me that this Southern warthog was beautiful. Uh, no.
There were two beautiful butterflies flittering about and being very photogenically cooperative for us. Far different from the warthogs.
Only one panda was out in the open and seemed to really be enjoying Easter Sunday:
Throughout the several aviaries, there were birds on their nests, including a hummingbird. I had never seen a hummingbird nest before. They are about the size of a quarter!
And lastly, we can't leave the Zoo without visiting the meerkats:
Hope you enjoyed going to the Zoo with me today.

Thanks for the trip to the zoo. What a great way to spend Easter. Hope you a Russel had a great weekend.
Jim, what a great tour of the zoo you gave! :) Never have seen a Mandarin Duck before. They are beautiful!!
Interesting how the flamingos are building their nest so near each other.. the duck is pretty. Amazing how the wild cat looks so much like a tiny house cat! I agree with you, that warthog is not beautiful. Never heard of meerkats. The birds and the butterflies are beautiful. And the panda certainly looks comfortable! Enjoyed the trip to the zoo - thank you!
Jim, Great photos! I am going to agree with you on the Southern Warthog!
Great picture of the lynx! Looks like the Bobcats I see in my front yard.
Jim. I love that lynx picture. That R.U.S.S.E.L person is crazy to think that the wart hog is beautiful. Ugh!
Jim,
thanks for the vicarious vistit, I really enjoyed it. What a great way to spend a Sunday. A
Loved the coloring on the duck, but the meerkats are always my favorite. Gotta see if I can find any episodes of Meerkat Manor online!
Jim, great phots. I love the meerkats. They are so human-like.
Very nice Jim: I bet the weather was really nice too!
Jim, these are amazing photos. I love going to the Zoo - I just went yesterday with my kids, however, I only have a couple of good photos. What camera do you have? Your photos have so much detail. I loved the tour.
Great pictures, Jim. The zoo is always a wonderful place to shoot pictures; you never run out of subjects there.
stunning photos certainly captured the animals personality! So colorful and vivid. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing your day at the zoo. Great photographs.
Great pictures Jim. I hope you both had a great holiday!
