In February, I took a quick trip to the local zoo. I finally got around to posting the photos. This is the first from the set. Later, you can see amphibians, including more mafia frogs. For now, you get look at birds and stuff. (For those who care, the set is here.)

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) - She's a finch and she's proud of it.

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) - This finch has a beard... and side burns.

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) - "Fiber, fiber, fiber, fiber, fiber, ...."

Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) - I like the bokeh here.

Linnaeus's Two-toed Sloth (Choloepus didactylus) - "You can call me Flower... if you want to"

Bubbles - There is a large aerator in the Brazil tank. This is me playing with time delays.

Madagascar giant day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) - If you ever need to light a match, and can't find a suitably rough surface, grab a nearby gecko.
