Tuesday was a cold, cloudy, winter day, so I went to the zoo. Any day is a good day for the zoo. But in the middle of winter, there are far fewer people. Many of the animals were out and I got some great shots. Standing around watching the Red Panda, I noticed a Robin having dinner on a nearby branch. He must have been very hungry because he let me get to within four feet and take pictures. He stayed around for several minutes allowing me to get some nice colorful pics. Even at the zoo, not every shot has to be an exotic critter.
