Decided to take a break and hit up the National Aviary, Zoo, and Conservatory in Pittsburgh. Forgot the camera for the zoo and conservatory.. don't ask me how. And, forgot to pack any lens except the kit lense for the trip! I was very disappointed when I got there and noticed I forgot, but decided to try to take some pics anyways. Some turned out O.K.:

Yeah, I was very pleased with the bald one - just wish I could have gotten a little closer without him trying to attack me :-D

Don't worry. It seems the kit lens did good!

Incase anyone was wondering (I was curious) - the bird with a featherless head is a King Vulture - a south american tropical bird.
