Detroit Zoo Trip

We took a trip to the Detroit Zoo on Tues and had a wonderful time. They have added some new animals. Some hummingbirds have joined the butterflies in the butterfly garden and we were able to see some of them. "The group consists of a pair of giant hummingbirds (Patagonia gigas), a pair of Peruvian sheartails (Thaumastura cora) and a male sparkling violet-ear (Colibri coruscans). They are all from Peru and range in size from one of the smallest species of hummingbirds, only 1.5 inches long, to the largest species, measuring 7 inches long." We were also able to see the new Red Panda. The boys seemed to really enjoy the snakes, lizards & turtles in the reptile house. I hope you enjoy some of my pictures.
