Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Yesterday I shared a bird I shot at Elmwood Park Zoo. A Black Vulture to be precise. Today I would like to share another bird. But this time something a little more friendly looking. Here is the Swan. And I do mean "the" Swan. There is only one at Elmwood.

He may be friendly looking but let me tell you, he will bite. So keep your fingers away!

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Whenever I visit Elmwood Park Zoo I tend to spend a lot of time at the eagle exhibit. It's simply one of the best around. But there's more than just eagles at the eagle exhibit. Unofficial residents so to speak. Residents like this.

Not the prettiest birds in the world but certainly a necessary part of it. And if can picture them with a full head of feathers they aren't too scary looking. You can read about vultures here.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

How was your holiday? Mine was pretty good. We didn't do a whole lot. Oh we ran errands and even shopped around for some bargains but for the most part everything was low key. It was very nice. For the past several months we have had so much going on but it's all finally coming together. I would love to share more with you but I thinks it's best to wait. A few of you already know and I think you agree with me. But I can tell you that it's pretty big, at least for Kim and me.

Like a lot of you I was off from work today. It was a bit rainy and a little gloomy so I thought it would be a good day to visit the zoo. And I was right. The crowds were small and the animals were pretty active. Most of them at least. Including my favorite. The River Otters.

What a ham! They sure like to show off. Here's a short video too.

And that will do it for now. But I'll be back real soon with more from the zoo. I hope you will join me because I got some real good stuff.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Merry Christmas friends!

Christmas always seems to be busy around here but not really so much this year. I'm not really sure why but I'm not complaining. I even found a little time to set up at the Cafe and shoot for a bit. So for today's photo I would like to share this with you.

Coming in for a landing!

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

In celebration of Christmas tomorrow I would like to share this Nativity display that I have seen each evening for the past couple of weeks as we walk our dog. It is located a block over from us on a neighbor's property.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Seeing as I was off from work today and it was such a nice day I thought it would be nice to set up in the cafe to do a little shooting. It wasn't too busy but there was a customer or two. And I was able to grab a few shots. Here is two of them.

In the feeder having a look around.

And flying off after being startled by the sound of my camera's mirror slapping open and shut.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today we go from a wintry (a little) Valley Forge back to the Garden Cafe and watch this little guy raid the bird food.
