Hi everyone, Thanks for the kind comments. On Saturday, I visited the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI. It was a relaxing day and the weather was fine. The zoo currently has a lot of construction going on, so there were a lot of animals I didn't get to see, like ellies, zebra, cheetah, etc. Some of the critters were too far and in the shade and my pictures were blurry, but I did get lots of pictures to share.
Some of the things I saw there...
Emu
Checking me out?
Humboldt Penguin
White Breasted Cormorant
Scratch, scratch
Whose claw is this?
Aha! A Harbor Seal
And a companion
African Crowned Crane
Pretty enough to show you another
Aoudad aka Barbary Sheep

What a lot of cool critters for us to enjoy! The first emu is just delightful!
dang lin, i envy your chances of seeing all kinds of critters ...well done! :)
I'm glad you got out and those are wonderful photos! Such unusual shots in one way or another. The bluish color of the Emu head...the feathers on that Cormorant's back...the seal claw...etc. All terrific!
What a nice zoo...a lot of diversity. And from what you say you missed, there's even more!
You have done such a wonderful job at capturing these fellas!! Very well done!
Thanks for showing me some really rare species Lin :)
The crane and the emu are my favorites. Your pictures are excellent.

oh wow, great great photos today...and that claw!
Wow I love the African Crowned Crane, beautiful. Thanks Lin. Debs x
going to the zoo would be so nice, i wish we had something like that around here but there is not.
There is so much close to me I haven't gotten around to seeing yet. It's not like RI is 100's of miles away!
Great photos, thanks for sharing.
I visited that Zoo once years ago.-OOh- that claw is weird looking.
I like that African Crowned Craned-very nice!
So glad to have you back. Thanks for the zoo walk. Different critters we don't see too often.
Absolutely beautiful pictures.

Very nice! I love crowned cranes, myself. It'd be nice if zoos announced any animals that aren't accessable on any given day. Even just a sign at the front gate. Not fair to pay full price, then realize you're not getting the whole show.
That african crowned crane was so sassy and beautiful!
Wow those claws are amazing!!
Love the photos I do like Zoos. I know they are not always the best places to keep these animals but sadly it is often the only chance we get to view these wonderful animals,
That crowned cane looks as if it knows just how pretty it is! And the Harbor Seal paw - wow - you really got me with that one - I had NO IDEA! Very cool perspective - loved it!
