This dinosaur had just roared at Tyler, our eight year old grandson. The dinosaur exhibit at The Portland, Oregon Zoo was pretty cool. The dinosaurs had hydraulic moving parts, including their eyes.
Having just seen so many Bald Eagles on the Olympic Peninsula, it was fun to see this one up close.
This is a White-faced Ibis. What a beautiful color.
