When I go to the zoo for the first time in the new season, I make a point to do a quick walk-through of the entire thing as I'm excited to see any changes that may have occurred while it was closed. This generally means I have way more pictures to sort through and I have a harder time categorizing them to post. So, here's a bunch of random pictures to wrap up my first time at the zoo this year.

Birds
I can't believe how big the wattled crane chick is that was born last year!! I also thought the red-tailed hawk was being absolutely adorable as it kept grabbing sticks and trying to rearrange them to make this nest.

Monkeys
I'm so glad I got to get to the zoo again for the first time this season! I enjoyed seeing these various monkeys.

Bears!
I walked by the bears a couple of times and the second time, I found myself alone. So I lingered for a bit. Then I realized the bear was noticing me. Pretty soon the bear was getting up and moving around. I struggled to pick my favorite pictures from this moment so there are a lot. I'm so glad I was able to fit this trip to the Indy Zoo in at the end of last year while I was in the area. I'm counting down the days now until the Fort Wayne Zoo will open for the season! It's not that much longer!
