Baltimore Zoo: New Friends

The visit also provided the opportunity to visit the newly opened Maryland aviary.  To get there you enter into a raised wooden walkway that leads you past the open bog.  This is another excellent place to be patient and observant.

 Today's highlight was certainly the blooming purple march flags.

 The aviary was clearly new...  Inhabitants included Wood Ducks, Aix sponsa, and
, Bubulcus ibis.

Another inhabitant was this Black-crowned Night Heron, Nycticorax nycticorax.
