Zoo of Maryland in Baltimore #8
Stop #8 @ the Zoo of Maryland in Baltimore. The African Journey, part 4.
One of the things the most visitors to zoos don't do, it's linger. You cannot appreciate animals unless you do. A great place to hangout and watch at the Zoo of Maryland is the African Aviary. Here are four of it's many inhabitants: African Spoonbill, the brown Hamerkop, Von der Decken's Hornbill, and the Blue-bellied Roller. I was especially taken by the Von der Decken's Hornbill as he would grab mealworms and fly to a nesting roost to feel his mate and their newly hatched brood. I was there for about 15 minutes before I even noticed the Rollers. Take me word for it...linger.
