WOW:(! The SD Zoo does not show birds of prey like that – or at least that I've seen. I can't believe it, how strange that set up is, right on the ground??! I'm glad you said something and even though they replied to your concerns, I still think it's not good for the hawk.

Fabulous photos, but how sad to see them secured this way. When we go to the Renaissance Festival they no longer treat the birds this way here in GA – what's up with SF Zoo?

One nice thing – most people think badly of vultures – I like that this zoo is showing them off along with the hawks. Vultures are very interesting birds:

I knew that I was going to be conflicted. We've been here for almost two years and only went to the zoo for the first time last weekend.

I'm told that the San Diego zoo was designed to mimic the animals' natural habitats. I'll have to make it down there sometime.

I completely agree. I have very mixed feelings about zoos. Seeing birds tethered in the sun would have made me sad. As always, beautiful pictures, though!
