Nashville Zoo

6/26/11

 The Nashville Zoo is an extraordinarily impressive experience.  Although the day was hot and humid, there was ample shade and a few indoor exhibits.

 One of the literally cooler areas was Alligator Cove.  The path through the bamboo grove was shaded and inviting.

 This huge enclosed cage brought us close to the birds.

Birds watched everyone who came into the cage.  Several landed on Joan -they were attracted to her because of the small cups of flavored water that she carried.

The earring was too attractive to pass up.

 Large and small animals live in clean and natural settings.

  Flamingo Lagoon was near the end of the zoo trail.  It was fun to see them cavorting around.
