Default Tanganyika Wild Life Park...

Tanganyika WLP is located just west of Wichita, KS. We visited there last evening. TWLP is a little different from the average zoo. Many of the animals are walking right along with you. One such exhibit features interaction with the birds. This makes for great images as you'll see!

Colorful Birds2.

Colorful Birds Perched2.

Colorful Birds 7

There you have my four. Tomorrow, White Tigers!

Come on, F4. You know you photoshopped in those colors. No way birds are really those colors. Nice try. White tigers? I don't think so. (just great!)

Thanks Mike! Tanganyika is a great shoot location! As for the third image, I sure like continuous shooting! The lady captured was at one time, occupied by three birds. I had my zoom lens on and couldn't get far enough back. Oh well, limits to everything.

Thanks Prime Time, as for walking with the tigers, my mama didn't raise a fool! The tigers and I were really happy on our own side of the bars.
