I went to Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle yesterday. Always a great place to get some nice close-ups of our fine feathered friends. Here are a few, more can be seen scattered throughout my Gallery (external link)

Excellent shots - your unidentified bird is one of the Masked Weaver species, sorry I haven't time to look it up online but probably Northern.

It does indeed look to be a northern masked weaver. Thanks for the id :)

Great shots. We are going next weekend if the weather is decent. What lens did you use?



6D, 60D, Various L and non-L Lenses and more gear than I have time to use. ;)

Thanks Mitch. There were a few other interesting birds in the Savanna Aviary there, but those weavers were the most active.

Thanks. I was using the 100-400L, mostly at the long end.
