We took the daughter to World of Birds / Bronx Zoo last Sunday.
Interesting because several exhibits have no glass or chicken wire separation from the public, hence possibilities of better pictures of rarely seen exotic species.
The light is almost always dim though, then it's not always easy to shoot (nothing seems to prohibit the use of flashes, but I did not want to use one, if only to avoid disturbing the birds).
Came back with a few keepers, including this portrait of a West African Long-tailed Hornbill.
C&C welcome.
Thanks for looking.
