Liberty, one of the bald eagles at the National Aviary. Sadly, all bald eagles in AZA zoos are there because they cannot be released back into the wild, usually due to injuries.

boat-billed heron in the rainstorm

Trying out the larger size layout, the bald eagles didn’t seem to be much larger than the sidebar stream!
I absolutely adore boat-billed herons. And the rainstorm in the wetlands room is my favorite time at the National Aviary.
