The Flint River Aquarium had a new addition from when we were there last: an aviary. It was a sizable net-enclosed outdoor room. Here are a few of the birds that were residing in there.
A Canada goose:
A pair of hooded merganzers:
A little blue heron:
A black-crowned night heron:
And a yellow-crowned night heron:
It is a nice exhibit. However, the blue jay that landed on B's head a couple of times was a little startling! It made me stop and put my camera strap around my neck. If it had decided to try out my head, I did not want to drop my camera.
Nice birds. I'd love to be so close to a Jay.
ReplyDeleteLove the mergansers shot!
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Heron is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMergansers were one of the first ducks I learned to identify.
