Last week found us on the West Coast visiting family. A trip to the terrific, ever growing San Francisco Zoo is always on a West Coast agenda. Enjoy some of my photos below.
Today is my fall photography workshop at the Central Park Zoo. The class is sold out and should be lots of fun — think pumpkins.
There are lots of other fun and interesting classes going on at the zoo through March. For instance, on Saturday, November 5th, our terrific Vet Tech is giving a class on what it is like to take care of all of the animals in the zoo. Check it out and the other classes here.

Last weekend found us traveling south to the always enchanting, Philadelphia Zoo. They have had a delightful baby boom. We only got to see the adorable jaguar cub but that was plenty of cuteness for one trip. We will return soon. Check out my video of Baby girl Batu, born in October of 2009, at three months old. Her mother is called Tua and father is named Sugi.

Nothing says fun like a day being surrounded by fabulous animals and being able to get up close and personal with them. We spent an unforgettable day at Six Flags Wild Safari in Jackson NJ, took more photos than ever and smiled for hours afterwards. I highly recommend this experience for one and all.

Rainy Zoo Day Fun September 25, 2011

So what do you do ‘while at the zoo’ when it is pouring outside? I spent lots of time in the Central Park Zoo’s Tropical Aviary. Without bias I can honestly say that it is the best tropical aviary of any that I have seen of all of the zoos I have visited. It is a delight of color, sounds and flight.
In today’s montage you can spot our fledged Scarlet Ibis chick in the second row on the left. The video below spotlights some Scarlet Ibis chicks that I saw at the Bronx Zoo in 2007.

I thought sharing some photos of adorable baby animals residing at the Central Park Zoo would give you a much needed smile on this most difficult of anniversary days. Smile at our baby banded mongooses, baby Patagonian cavy, Baby Irene Hope (the lamb born during Hurricane Irene), a Nicobar Pigeon chick, a young Red Panda, a very wet snow monkey, two gorgeous snow leopards and a very fast growing scarlet Ibis chick.
Check out the Fall/Winter Programs being offered at the Central Park Zoo including four of my photography workshops. You can also now register on line.

A visit to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Zoo is always fun. Their collection of animals grows each month. Check out the adorable baby golden lion tamarin born July 16th, to first time parents, Pablo and Teodora. Pablo, was born in 2004 and came to The Prospect Park Zoo from Zoo Atlanta. Teodora, was born at the Baton Rouge Zoo in 2008. Their pairing was a recommended breeding match through the national Species Survival Plan, a program that works to ensure the genetic diversity of endangered species in zoos and aquariums.
The red-eye tree frog was awake and energetic, as were the two tufted deer juveniles, meerkats, hornbills, stork, sea lions and more.
No doubt you have heard the story of the Central Park Zoo‘s little bundle of joy born during the weekend of Hurricane Irene. She has been named Irene Hope. Check out her cuteness:

This is the last zoo we visited on my recent visit to New England. The Franklin Park Zoo is located in Boston, and in one of Frederick Law Olmstead‘s beautiful parks across the United States. We delighted in the antics of 10 month old Baby Kambiri, the sweetest little baby gorilla and also enjoyed the beautiful one year old giant anteater, Jockamo. Check out tow new videos below today’s montage.

Hurricane Irene allowed me plenty of home time to sort through my photos from my recent trip to New England. Enjoy the adorable one week old flamingo chick that we spotted amongst a sea of pink feathers and very long legs at the Stone Zoo.

As Hurricane Irene blasts the NYC area and we are advised to stay indoors I flash back to last weekend’s quick trip to New England to visit friends. The goal was whale watching but the whales were out of range so we easily opted for visits to three zoos in two days. Here is the first of those visits (more later today). If you did not see my pre-hurricane Irene posts from yesterday, are homebound and looking for some visual entertainment check out this post: http://judylobo.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/deconstructing-casa-lobo/ and this one: http://judylobo.wordpress.com/2011/08/27/waiting/
Don’t forget to check out the adorable Mandrill baby video below today’s montage.
