Here's an interesting product that claims to mimic lichen and spiderweb, two known preferred nesting materials for hummingbirds. I recommend having google set to moderate safesearch before looking for the product name.

[livejournal.com profile] badnoodles donated in order to see a picture of an amphibian. As it happens, there is a whole row of exhibits next to each other in Children's Zoo, so I tried a few shots. I can't guarantee for everyone that I'll get 6 species for your 5 dollar donation, but this was fun!

Above you see a wood frog, a native North American amphibian, and the species found further north than any other. They prefer to breed in vernal pools, and during the breeding season their quacking calls make you think there are invisible ducks in the pond. When I worked at Drumlin Farm I encountered them frequently.

If you would like me to take a picture of one of Zoo New England's animals, please donate $5.00 to the New England Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers! I'll even send you a sticker.







Still forthcoming: Pictures of prairie dogs and something large (donor specified elephant, rhino, hippo or giraffe).
