This trip was very unplanned... my friend Kiri and I were driving around looking for Elk, we only found 5 deer in a field, far away and it was so windy. Then we decided to drive towards Calgary to see if we could see any mountains.
Then we were close so we decided to hit the zoo. We only spent an hour and a half at the zoo. It was beautiful but still quite chilly!
Bighorn Sheep & Alpine Ibex
Rocky Mountain Goat
Owl & Hawk Aviary
Taveta Golden Weavers
Golden-Breasted Starlings
Llamas
So stinkin' cute!
Giraffes
I love giraffes... my favorite zoo animal!
Meerkats with babies
The babies were wrestling... so cute!
Hippos
Have you ever seen a hippo poop up close... what a traumatic experience LOL
Red River Hogs
The view from both sides of a bridge we walk over to get to the animals.
A few wild birds
Squirrels
We don't get them here, so when I see them I love to take photos!
Cool water feature.
Then on our way home... we kept our eyes open looking for hawks and owls, and we were lucky enough to see 3 male snowy owls. I had never seen a snowy owl in the wild and it was so exciting!
The 1st male Snowy Owl
The 2nd male Snowy Owl
The 3rd male Snowy Owl
This guy flew to the other side of the street, and then as we were about to leave he took off and circled and flew right towards us and back to the other side of the street. So cool. We didn't stay long with them but took a lot of photos.
The sun setting.
