The third Sunday in February (tomorrow) means it is another of Central Park Zoo’s Early Birds’ Photo Safari mornings. The last two Sunday morning adventures have been a lot of fun.  Come on over and join me.  If not this Sunday – why not next Sunday, which will be the last in this winter series. The montage below shows you just a small portion of the Zoo’s terrific collection. Don’t forget to enjoy a delightful video of a little dancing goat below today’s montage.

Happy Valentine’s Day (a day early).  Woo at the Zoo is a common theme this year. Lots of snuggling, kanoodling and nesting going on all over the animal world.  See if you can spot two in the animal kingdom who live at Casa Lobo amongst the other furry and feathery faces.  Yes, it is not hard to spot both Madison the cat and Benny the dog.

And don’t forget – today is the second of four early opening hour Sundays for photographers at the Central Park Zoo. Get your tickets at 9 AM at the gate and enjoy the Zoo an hour before opening to capture the beauty of the Zoo’s collection. I’ll be there.
Watch the funny animals in love video below today’s montage.

We are truly having a winter this year in the Big Apple.  I know lots of human are not enjoying the snow but the residents at the Central Park Zoo are having a great time.  Don’t forget to watch Gus the Polar Bear enjoying some fun in the snow below today’s montage.

The lure of freshly fallen snow and seeing three eight month old tiger cubs frolicking was too much for us to ignore.  So we hopped up to the Bronx Zoo yesterday and had a snow-sational time.  Don’t forget to watch the tiger cub video below today’s snow montage. Zootastic!

I continue my tradition of ending the year with a look from ‘behind’. It was a zoo-sational year for a zoo nut like me.  Along with some of my like minded zoo pals we were able to visit new zoos and places around the country and thanks to many wonderful new friends get some amazing behind the scenes access.  If you missed some of the visits, check out my photos from the Everglades, the Palm Beach Zoo, the Miami Metro Zoo, Flamingo Gardens, the Cleveland MetroParks ZooThe Akron Zoo, The Toldedo Zoo, The Erie Zoo, The Pittsburgh Zoo and a personal favorite there, the Polar Bear Plunge, The Columbus Zoo, The Louisville Zoo, The Cincinnati Zoo and the best Insect House anywhere, The Newport Aquarium, Pittsburgh’s National Aviary, the always wonderful San Francisco Zoo, a very worthwhile VIP tour of Six Flags Wild Safari, Southwick’s Zoo, Whale and Dolphin watching, out of Gloucester, MA, the Cape May Zoo, the Raptor Trust, the Philadelphia Zoo, and of course home base, the Central Park Zoo where we all met the newest residents, the Mountain Coatis, Lobo, Lev and Wolfie .  I am looking forward to new Zoo adventures in 2011. Don’t forget to watch Gus, the polar bear enjoying some snow in my video below.

A visit to the Central Park Zoo always brings something new.  Check out the three week old adorable Mini Nubian goat named Spot.  He resides at the Tisch Children’s Zoo with his mother, Monique and several other goats.  Mini Nubians are a cross between Nigerian dwarf and full-sized Nubian goats.  If you get lucky you might also see the new Peregrine Falcon, Sierra, as she strolls around the Central Garden with one of her handlers. Go to the Tropic Zone to warm up and you will see six new Whistling ducks in the beach area along with two White-winged Wood ducks. Look further in the Temperate Zone for our new cranes as well. Come visit soon.  To see these photos larger, click here.

If you did not pick up your Happy Holidays card from Casa Lobo to your house please click here.  You can get to see my adorable (and cooperative dog, Benny along with my not so cooperative cat, Madison).

A visit to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Zoo was filled with delightful surprises.  The baboons received some holiday presents, the tufted deer family, including the new fawn were visible to all as was the adorable rock wallaby joey.  The zoo also also has some new Sebastopol ducks and some very active tamarins.  Check them out below and to see these photos larger, go here.

On my recent visit to friends in New England we went to The Stone Zoo‘s annual Holiday Lights event.  It runs every night from Thanksgiving through January 2nd.  Fun for one and all.  Don’t forget to check out the ‘Deck the Halls‘ video for some smiles that appears below the photo montage.

I enjoyed a short voyage north to New England to visit friends this week.  Of course we ventured to the Franklin Park Zoo to ooh and ah over their one month old gorilla. A collective ‘awwwwwwwwwww’ can be heard across the land.  To see these images larger go here.
