A meal fit for a crane!

We're sprucing the place up which means power washing the wetlands, among other things.

We are fortunate to have Dr. Rory Browne to give us (me, four coworkers and our all-female zookeeper intern staff) a lecture tour on the history of the zoo!

Yellow jackets scavenging a white-footed mouse carcass.

Alexis took a much better version.

Last day.

On this day in 365 Urban Species: Purslane, but maybe it should have been Enchanter's Nightshade...

Frozen food.

Disgusting substance of the day: mouse torso organs. I chopped up a mouse for the snapper and crammed red bell pepper pieces into it. (In order to trick the turtle into eating veggies.) The pepper and mouse separated in the water. To my surprise, the snapper pursued and ate the red pepper pieces. I fed him a couple more without the mouse pieces and he ate those too.

On this day in 365 Urban Species: Mock strawberry. Alexis just recently added a picture of the plant in flower to the comments on this post.
