Faces

Faces....what do you see? Do you see the same expressions as I do when I first viewed these pictures? The pictures below were taken last Sunday by my husband who decided to focus on faces during our relaxing stroll at the Wild Animal Park.

Sad ?

Lemur are nocturnal primates native to Madagascar. Lemurs are named after the lemures (ghosts or spirits) due to their reflective eyes, ghostly vocalization and nocturnal habits.

Pensive?

Black-crowned night heron is a local San Diego bird that is found throughout a large part of the world. These birds often frequent the Wild Animal Park maybe because they see the place as a rich place for them to hunt and hang out.

Angry?

Shoebill stork is such a huge bird - they are quite tall, with such a penetrating stare that can really look straight at you in the eye without batting their eye lash. These birds are solitary and native to the marshy banks of the East African White Nile. They feed on frogs, small crocodiles, and other mud puddle fish. 

Relaxed? 

Actually, since this is the Wild Animal Park, I am not very sure what type of pelican is this. Is this the pink backed pelican that is native to Africa, or is this a local white pelican that is found all over the world and like the herons also make this park their favorite stop? 

Focused

Hummingbirds are so easy to find everywhere in San Diego but are not so easy to photograph because they move so quick, in fact the humming is from the quick flapping of their wings. 

Cutesy?

The African Crowned Crane looks very majestic with their crown that is made of tall stiff golden feathers that looks like a real crown. These birds seem to love to walk in pairs.

Surprised?

Who doesn't love the meerkats? They are just so cute and adorable little creatures. They love to be in groups, and always show off their cute and admirable poses.
