Friday I found myself in Animal Kingdom on a hot, but crystal clear blue sky day.
I looked in the first viewing area and the Black Swan was out! Hadn’t seen this swan in a while.
Then over to Russell and Dug. I wanted to see if they’d give me the “dish” on the new Wilderness Explorer’s Program coming to Animal Kingdom but, well see for yourself …
The Creature Comforts sign looked all bright and pretty from a new paint job.
Next stop, Dinoland U.S.A. and the Abdim Storks. “They migrate annually from southern Africa to central Africa. They are often referred to as “grasshopper birds” because they are frequently seen on top of termite mounds feasting on the insects”
Several were out and a couple were making quite a fuss on the left side of their habitat.
It took a few minutes, but I finally realized what the commotion was all about.
A Cast Member was in the area cleaning up when I realized in the far back of this habitat were two of the Asian Brown Tortoises having a feast.
I snapped a few bird photographs as I wandered around the park.
But I really wanted to get to Asia and see if the 2 month old White Cheek Gibbon was visible!
Check back soon for photos and videos of the baby gibbon!
