Photographed in the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle on our last visit there (we need to go again).

Photographed at the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle (Shoreline), Washington, in the tropical house where these birds can be seen in something like a natural setting. We make an annual excursion to the zoo, but the weather has not yet been good enough to allow us to go this year. This photo is from 2010.

Photographed at the Woodland Park Zoo near Seattle. The Ruddy Duck is a small duck that belongs to the "stiff-tailed" ducks and is a very attractive and colorful bird that is found in the area year around.

We went to Woodland Park Zoo today. The zoo is near Seattle and an hour and a half drive for us, but the weather was decent and we had a great day. I did not, however, have time to go through my pictures and so am posting an older picture of a Peregrine that was rescued wounded and dying (after a fight with another bird) and now lives at the zoo, since it cannot be released back into the wild. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/05/woodland-pa...

Well named Ursus arctus horribilis, the grizzly male can weigh up to 1500 pounds and stand taller than a tall man. This grizzly was photographed at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle and is one of a pair of male grizzlies, brothers, living at the zoo, both large bears but smaller than 1500 pounds, though still quite fearsome. Interestingly, it is reported that grizzlies are moving back into the North Cascades, the mountains which stand to our east. When hiking we always have to be careful about bears and make sure anything scented is tied in a tree away from camp, but our worry is usually the smaller and less aggressive black bear, not these monsters. When hiking in areas where grizzlies are found they tell you to wear bells on your clothing so as not to surprise a bear and cause it to attack. A ranger in one of the parks put that idea to rest by telling us that the difference between black bear scat and grizzly scat is that the former has seeds in it while the latter has bells in it. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/05/woodland-pa...
