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 :)

Located in Miami, FL, Miami MetroZoo, now known as Zoo Miami, 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 and is one of my favorite places to visit. 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.
