San Diego Zoo, Part 1 - Birds & Reptiles

More pictures from way back! These are from our trip to LA / Carlsbad / San Diego back in May. Honestly, the San Diego is so gigantic and overwhelming, and I took so many pictures... that I delayed posting these because of the time I knew it would take to sort through it all. But I've finally gotten around to it. It has been a lot of fun looking through these pictures from a few months ago.

Due to the sheer volume of pictures, I'm splitting this up into a multi-part series. Today I present... birds and reptiles!

We were first greeted by a peacock living up in a tree. No big deal.

So many flamingos! They really are quite funny creatures.




And... the hardcore birds. Whoa.



I personally think snakes are awesome. Not that I would particularly want to encounter one in the wild, but really. How cool are these snakes?
 Totally wish I had spikes like that. Don't tell me you don't.



Do you have a favorite bird or reptile? I think snakes are my favorite reptiles. Aside from dragons, of course. =)
