Kerry, i love them both wow it must be nice to have somewhere to go and take all these wonderful shots you present to us as usual. I wish we had a Zoo close by and we have a wildlife park but all you see is a couple of emu's and some kangaroo's. Spose to be some Koala's but eventime i have tried to look for any i think they go into hiding.
Well done mate.

Two more excellent shots Kerry, although looking at the birdie reminds me of my own profile (in the mirror) :lol:

Thanks for all of the kind comments, guys. They're appreciated. :D

BBJ: I've been to 5 different zoos, from Washington DC to Chicago and a couple in between. :) But, I do have 2 zoos in the general vicinity, one here in Detroit about 15 miles from my home, and one in Toledo, Ohio, about 55 miles away. 8)

I'll be hitting the close ones again in the near future, as soon as the temperatures get down to more reasonable levels, prolly in September.

hmmm, good question. I don't know. I haven't heard anything about it lately, so I guess it must have been put out. :?

Great shots Kerry. 1/80s at 400mm, very impressive.

BBJ, being in Mt Gambier, I'm sure you're a stones throw from places that have Brown Falcons, Black Falcons, Nankeen Kestrels, Black Shouldered Kites, Peregrin Falcons, Wedge Tail Eagles and all the other fauna that habitat the areas around there.

G'day Kerry,
Always enjoy your stuff and no exception, love the eagle shot. Interesting it's shot in landscape...

Thanks again for the kind comments. :D

Mudder: I don't recall a lot of the specifics of the eagle shot, so can't say why it's in landscape. :(
