I wanted to get my money’s worth from the one year pass to the zoo before it expired. My motivation for purchasing the pass was the access I wanted to the nesting egrets and ibis at the Safari Park. On my walk through the San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park this day I captured several wild Mallard Duck families, a Wood Duck, and a pair of Hooded Mergansers. A Black Phoebe also charmed me by posing nicely for the camera. I also gathered images of a few of the captive mammals and birds during my tour this day.
Captive subjects included Meerkat, Klipspringer, Bateleur (raptor), Golden-Bellied Mangabey, Orangutan, Crested Screamer.
