A Bird In the Hand...
We had an unusual invitation drop in our laps last week. T posted a comment to a picture by our local zoo. The photo was of a Tawny Frogmouth - a bird native to Australia - and she remarked how it was something both of us would love to see up close some day. As it turns out, an acquaintance of ours works at the Henry Vilas Zoo, and saw the comment. She called T and asked if we'd like to "meet" the bird, whose name is Hagrid, in person! Of course we said "YES!!!" and plans were set in motion...
We arrived at the zoo on the appointed day a few minutes early. The zoo walking paths have been cordoned off to direct all traffic in a long, one-way loop to maximize social distancing. Everyone was wearing masks (which is as it should be) and we headed over to the barn where Hagrid lives. It was a chilly day, with temperatures in the upper 30s Fahrenheit, but the flamingoes were out enjoying the sun. We were escorted into the foyer of the building, and waiting while Hagrid was prepared to meet us.
