As my knee continues to heal I am featuring a photo montage from 2013. Since we all had full bellies this week I wanted to share some of the tasty food enrichment zoo animals receive. Hope everyone had a very happy and tasty holiday.

While recovering from knee replacement surgery (ouch) I decided to recycle some of my older Sunday photo montages until I am back in camera ready action. Enjoy these shots from 2013 and hope to see you soon with new montages.

Yesterday’s photo class at the Central Park Zoo turned out to be great fun despite the ‘iffy’ weather. Our hearty band of photographers were enriched by our pumpkin dsplay as much as our animals. Fun for all. Did I mention today is my birthday?

Tomorrow is the 28th anniversary of the Central Park Zoo. The long history of the zoo is fascinating – you can read all about it here. There has been some type of animal collection/menagerie at the zoo’s present site since the 1850s. The Central Park Zoo celebrated its rebirth as part of the Wildlife Conservation Society on 8/8/88. Some of our amazing animals (and me) have been around for most of the past 28 years. Happy Anniversary to us! Have a fun memory of your time at CPZ? Why not share it today on my whileatthezoo.com site?

The third week in July is National Zookeeper Week. I appreciate these terrific people all year long and dedicate this week’s photo montage to the 18 people who make everything great at my zoo, the Central Park Zoo. I thank you, one and all, for all you do – the unsung heroes – each and every day. While National Zookeeper Week just ended, there would be nothing wrong with telling a zookeeper any day of the year how much they are appreciated.

The sky is bluer, the crocus’ have bloomed, the daffodils are peeking their heads through winter’s soil and there is a general feeling that spring is in the air. Come visit.

There are few things as much fun as watching zoo animals step foot on newly fallen snow. We were at the Central Park Zoo the Monday after the big blizzard to witness this joy. Our Breakfast with the Birds class that was scheduled for Blizzard Sunday has been rescheduled for next Sunday, Feb 7th from 8:30 to 10:30. There are a few slots still available. Come join the fun.

Still no sign of snow in NYC this winter but the temperate animals are loving the chilly air and blue skies. Next Sunday is our Breakfast with the Birds Photo class and there are a few spots left. Some of these amazingly beautiful birds featured today can be seen in our tropical rain forest where the class is held. Sign up here.

This is the penultimate photo montage for 2015 and I spotlight my home base, the Central Park Zoo. I have shared 86 photo montages with you this year and I thank you for coming along for the ride. Next Sunday will feature my standard ‘end of the year’ pics. Your comments (both on the ‘while at the zoo’ website and to me personally are most appreciated. Here’s hoping you stick round for whatever 2016 brings us.
