At the Zoo
It's true! It's all happening at the zoo!
We've been visiting family and grandkids, and one big event was a stop at the Bronx Zoo.
Here's a pretty bird:
Unfortunately, I forgot to take species notes, but I believe this is a Wrinkled Hornbill from Malaysia. Look at those long eyelashes!
I don't know how to explain the dented bill.
Here's a pretty bird and a pretty girl:
Who can resist that combination? I think the bird was attracted to pink. It kept following the pink coat and mittens.
Here's a pretty bird and two little boys:
The bird seemed puzzled by this pair. Maybe he was disappointed they weren't wearing pink...

It's crazy how much Stella looks like her mom. I can see Seth in there too though. She's such a pretty young lady. And, whatever it's called, that bird is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI remember that there are three types of horn bills and the south american type is the most colour among them all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image :)
What could be more fun than visiting a zoo with grandkids?!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I have ever seen a wrinkled hornbill before.
Hi Janie,
ReplyDeleteGosh, you and Steve were really off the beaten path - the Bronx Zoo! Your photos of the exotic bird with the children are special - as though they're communicating through ESP with each other. (Perhaps they were...) Welcome home - is your landscape still as snowy as the Header?
That top picture still looks like a painting to me. And I didn't notice those impressive lashes when you showed me the pics before. Makes me want to visit the zoo soon.
ReplyDeletewhat cool birds...and adorable grand kids...so glad your getting to enjoy them...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your trip was wonderful, I'm glad you're back. I really like your larger pictures. That bird is an interesting species.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos..Looks like your trip was fun.
ReplyDeleteCute photos Janie, and how I wish I had eyelashes like those.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Janie.... Sounds like you all had a fabulous holiday season.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures from the zoo..
Hugs,
Betsy
P.S. Happy New Year
I love zoos and zoos with kids are the best.
ReplyDeleteI love those bird-lashes!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you are loving seeing those kiddos!
Lovely shots! Your granddaughter looks like you. Poor hornbill with the dented bill - maybe it's always been thus.
ReplyDeleteAlthough all of your pictures of the bird are fascinating, I really like the pictures where he is checking out your grandchildren. Those pictures are absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteLovely bird to go so beautifully with the pink coat!! A must for any little girl! (just wait until Tabita sees that!) :-D
ReplyDeleteLove those eyelashes! I bet your granddaughter liked the attention!
ReplyDeleteThe pretty girl and the pretty bird... you won't find a cuter picture anywhere!
ReplyDeleteZoo... the best place for kids!
ReplyDeleteThe eyelashes on the hornbill are amazing! He's so interested in the kids too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you had the opportunity to visit a zoo with the grandkids. There's no finer experience. Yay for you!
