Camera Critters: All Grown Up!



When I visit the Houston Zoo, I always start with the Chilean Flamingo.
I've been watching the babies grow up.
From this-- 
Fluffy little grey balls.

  10. Oh wow that was neat seeing them as they grow and change color. So soft & fuzzy as babies but I must say that Pink color is just the coolest.

  31. This post and your photos was just an extra sweet publishing!! I love it all.

    Hi!
    I'm trying to catch up on your posts after you left me a comment last week while I was out birding most days along with a national birding convention being held in our city. Hope your week ahead is a good one. Thanks for stopping by to leave me a comment.

  33. The babies are cute and the adults have always been pleasant to watch for me. I wonder why people use plastic flamingoes on their lawn when a special event comes along?
