Mom and I went to the Sanford Zoo today - it's in Central Florida. We took the wrong freeway and ended up driving for MILES through The Boonies - wow, it was total wasteland. BUT! We got there eventually and wandered around in the tiny zoo, having a good time.
Conditions for photography were horrible. It was very dark and gloomy and most of the animals were tucked away in cages. I got a few goodies, though.
This is a beautiful bird, but those toes can be very dangerous. I read that the male takes over the nest and runs the female off. He can sit on the nest for up to 55 days without eating drinking or pooping. No wonder they have a bad temper. : )
