In the midst of our chill gray rainy days, when the sky cleared once or twice to mere cloudiness, I went to the zoo. Usually I’m escorting children. This time I took an adult look. Here’s a little of what I found:
An American flamingo (All photos © David Cohen, davidcohenphotodc.com)
A peacock
A green-winged macaw
An American rhea
A gray catbird at the water
A black-crowned night heron, from a wild migratory flock outside the Bird House (see nationalzoo.si.edu for more about a marvel of nature and our city)
A regally expressive mien and mane
David has a knack for capturing our wild neighbors with his camera. Check out more of his work.
