Florida: Miami MetroZoo Galleries

Miami MetroZoo / January 24, 2004 and July 3, 2005 : Located in Miami, FL, Miami MetroZoo is a cageless zoo where animals roam in settings similar to their natural habitats. It is the only zoo in the United States in a subtropical climate. Photos one through eight are my first attempt at digital photography. I decided to take the plunge and went from using a Canon AE1 to a Sony Cybershot. I have since graduate to a Canon Rebel XTi - and I must admit, it was a bit traumatic at first and I'm still learning. Bird photos numberered 36 through 60 are found in the "Wings of Asia" exhibit. I have attempted to put the conservation status in the description of each animal and bird. If there isn't any, that means the beautiful creature is considered "Least Concern" - for now.

Miami MetroZoo / September 3, 2006 : When I began my visit today, the sun was shining brightly!! I had just finished going around the Wings of Asia (aviary) and was starting for a second "go-round" when the skies opened up. Unfortunately, the rains never stopped so that was the end of my trip to the zoo. The birds are found in an exhbit called the "Wings of Asia." A couple of the bird photos are blurry . . . some of the birds would just not cooperate and stay still long enough for me to get a good shot :)
