Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle: Part 1 of 2

We spent a whole sunny day on the grounds of Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, our first visit.

This was taken in the Butterflies and Blooms Pavilion, where the critters land on and alight from your hand.


Komodo Dragon.


Orangutan in the Tropical Asia "Trail of Vines" area.


Bald Eagle from the park's Northern Trail.


A very tame parakeet.


Taken with my Pentax K10D and DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6, DA 16-45mm f/4, and FA 50 f/1.4 Pentax lenses.

I'm curious about where some of the zoo's animals are housed (its tigers, giraffes, etc.) when winter comes—indooors, I suppose.
