These were taken at San Diego Safari Park, a 200+ acre preserve, where animals are kept in very large enclosures with as much of their natural
habitat as possible recreated. The visit was in 2011 December, so I did not post them in Birds of 2012 though the animals could go in FAUNA thread.

Good ones, Sury. : )

I like the Antlopes photo for its nice composistion the most I guess but they are all great shots of some lovely fauna. The Rhino looks both intimidating and peaceful..if that is possible. : )

Yildiz,
Rhino is intimidating by its sheer size and horns. It is at peace since this one does not have to worry about any poachers.

Sury

The Flamingos are nice and so is the Heron, but that Egret with the reflection is a winner Sury. I like the Antelope shot too they seem to be doing a little bit of sniffing, just too check, (they’re always a bit horny so to speak) nice Giraffe and Rhino photos as well (impressive Rhino).
Greg

Very nice shots Sury. Did you use high ISO ?

Thank you every one. Much appreciated.
Doc, the Rhino, Flamingo and the white bird were at 800 and the rest are at 200.

With best regards,
Sury

It's the Egret for me.

Bob,
Thank you. Aah!! That one is an Egret, uh!!! The closest I ever came to an egret knowingly is
in crossword puzzles.

Sury

Sury,

All images of birds are welcome in the Birds 2012 thread! No feathered friend will ever be rejected there if I can help it

Great shots, especially the egret.
