We’ve been wanting to see the two gorilla babies at the Bronx Zoo and we were not disappointed. We also got some other grand surprises with a young Okapi, Wolf’s Guenon baby, Colobus baby, Langur Baby, Brown ruffed lemur baby and the opening day of the Komodo dragon exhibit at Astor Court. A fine visit indeed.

It was fun to introduce a group of seven fabulous ladies to the Staten Island Zoo this week. Once again, General Curator and Vet, Marc Valitutto, was extremely generous with his time and access. A shout out to Marc and all of the fabulous animals at the Staten Island Zoo.
Want to see some beautiful birds up close and personal? Next Sunday, June 1 is our final Breakfast with the Birds photo event of the season at the Central Park Zoo. For details and tickets, go to the website here.

A quick trip to DC to visit recently transplanted friends would not be complete without seeing the National Zoo’s eight month old black and white panda, Bao Bao. Our timing was perfect. We got to spend quality morning time with Bao Bao before she climbed up into a tree for a long nap. I am a sucker for baby animals and there is something even more special about a baby panda.

My mother, Lillian Wolfe, is long gone, but her advice, warnings and general ‘Lili-isms’ live on in our daily life. She taught us to laugh at life, to think, to question authority, to march, to protest and generally act upon what we thought was wrong. She also gave us our moral compass – one glance from Lillian told us instantly whether our behavior was acceptable or not – and I got a lot of glances. My sister Terry and I remember many childhood events differently but we both agree that our mother was a pistol. Here’s to Lillian Wolfe and all of the other mothers, caregivers, nurturers, pamperers, surrogates and loving coddlers out there. You make it all work. And a huge salute to all of the Zoo mothers in today’s photo montage.
Next Sunday, May 18th, we will be having a Photo Workshop called ‘Urban Birds of Prey’ at the Central Park Zoo from 8:30 to 10:30. There are still places available for this fun class. Hope to see you then.

We are now on our All Tennessee Zoocation. Not much time to edit photos -but stay tuned for photos in the coming Sundays. Here are a few fun memories from our time in Memphis. My zoocation buddy Mary Schwalm reminded me that we have now been to all of the zoos in the United States with Giant Pandas. She is looking for a new zoocation goal and is thinking about hippos.

It’s been about six months since I last visited the Bronx Zoo. It is a big zoo with lots of wonderful things to see. Comfortable walking shoes are a must.

Yes, it is finally here. Spring has sprung – our little lamb is leaping, the ducks are flapping, the monkeys are flying, the swans are whooping and the sea lions are soaring. Come visit!

This annual rite of spring took place yesterday at the Central Park Zoo. For many urban dwellers the sight of sheep being shorn was a first time experience. Our six day old lamb only added to the fun. A shout out to Pete Sepe of Sepe Farms for his annual visit, education and fun. Come visit us and see our freshly shorn flock at the Tisch Children’s Zoo.
