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.

The Raptor Trust in Millington, NJ is a fabulous place to visit and support. We went out for a special visit this week and had an up- close and personal tour by owner and operator Len Soucy. Along with his wonderful stories we got to meet many of his education birds including the barn owl, barred owl, screech owl, snowy owl, broad-winged hawk, red-tailed hawk, American kestrel, and peregrine falcon. The Raptor Trust has been in existence since 1968. The Trust has taken in over 80,000 birds and managed to rehabilitate and release almost half that number. Check out their website for more information. To see these photos larger go here.

A trip to the West Coast is not complete without a visit to the always terrific San Francisco Zoo. While at the Zoo we were treated to some unforgettable behind the scenes action courtesy of a wonderful Zoo Docent and some very patient Keepers. Thanks to all for their time and thoughtfulness.

I was taken in by their delightful Emperor Tamarins and made this short video:

Yes, we drove three hours to see four month old snow leopard cubs and we were not disappointed. The Cape May County Park and Zoo is a delightful facility with over 200 acres of beautiful natural wooded areas and open spaces. And yes, it was worth our three hour drive to the tip of New Jersey to see the adorable cubs. If you want to see these photos larger go here.
Watch this little clip of Zoe, one of the Central Park Zoo’s snow leopards last winter in the first big snow.

While at the Zoo you can see the Penguins going through their seasonal molt, the snow monkeys as playful as ever and the new dwarf and banded mongoose tearing around their habitats. All fun to observe. Come visit.

We are enduring those dog days of August. It is hot, sticky and while at the zoo you can easily see both the residents and the visitors catching a big yawn every now and then. And yes, that is my dog Benny, caught in the act of yawning too. If you want to see these images larger, go here.
