Default My Trip to the Zoo Today
I decided to hang out at the Oakland Zoo in Oakland, CA today to snap a couple of shots. Here are a few I'd like to share:

Meerkat
Meerkat, Slender -Tailed

Beautiful Hornbill Lady
Malayan Wreathed Hornbill, Female

Handsome Hornbill Gentleman
Malayan Wreathed Hornbill, Male

I was surprised because the hornbills were behind fencing which really didn't impeed the shots too much.

Plus a few more...enjoy:
