We spent Friday morning at the Lincoln Park Zoo. It’s a lovely place, and we had a great time. I’ll be back with another post about our week in Chicago (and more zoo photos) but here are three pairs from our morning at the zoo.
We were among the first people to see the new red panda cubs. They were just allowed outside for viewing on October 15th. We were early enough that it was easy to get a good look at them, as well as their momma. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a red panda before.
I have two photos of this pair to share with you. These birds were fascinating and we watched them for quite awhile. We’re quite sure we’ve never seen one species cleaning a bird of another species, but that was exactly what was happening.
But this pair is my favorite, and it won’t surprise you at all!
I’m linking up with Helena’s Pairs which you can find right here.
a lovely set of zoo pairs – fascinating to see a bird clean another type of bird
That last picture would put a smile on anyone’s face..I can’t help smiling, just looking at it
My goodness – all traces of toddler Caleb have been replaced with little boy Caleb!
Oh such beautiful Pair of Red Pandas – they are some of the best comedians in the animal world. Your last Pair, I agree, just delightful 🙂
Great set of photos.
beautiful pairs…I love the spoonbill and the stork(?)…and lovely final pairs too!
Your photos are sogreat…and this post took me back to my childhood and days spent at the zoo. [sigh]. Nice pic of your grandson and daughter.
Cheers~
They are all great but that is a lovely last photo
I’ve got a smile on my face too! There is something about zoos and children … How fascinating to have seen the different species helping each other out – perhaps we’re entering a new phase of evolution!
Lovely photos! Love the red panda cubs! Our (not so) local zoo has red pandas too:) Lovely photo of your grandson – he looks like he is enjoying himself!
A lovely set of pairs. The birds are fascinating.
