Erie Zoo
While in Erie this past Wednesday, in addition to driving around Presque Isle State Park, we visited the Erie Zoo.
Since the Erie Zoo reopened in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, to gain admittance one has had to make an online reservation. No online reservations are required for admittance throughout the month of November. I like being able to go to the zoo on an impromptu basis. When we arrived at the zoo, we learned that admission was free for the day. We have a season pass, so the fact that the zoo was free that day had no bearing. However, we did wonder if the zoo would be busy, given that admission was free. There were very few other people at the zoo.
This is a video that Bob took with our GoPro7 camera during our visit to the Erie Zoo.
I took a few pictures too, which I will share. Some pictures are better than others. I really do not care to take pictures through glass or fences. I have such a difficult time capturing a good picture. I battled with the sun, too, and it played a part in diminishing the quality of the pictures as well.

I find it very difficult to get decent pictures at a zoo. I think you did very well, and I enjoyed Bob’s video as well.
You are so right Linda about the difficulty of taking good photos at a zoo with the glass and cages. I have always had difficulty with doing so in the few we’ve visited.
I think you got some good photos…and i enjoyed Bob’s video, too.
Very nice photographs. I particularly enjoyed your snaps of teh jaguar and leopard. Best wishes fo a wonderful week.
I don’t think I have ever heard of a pantagonian cavy before. So glad you posted a picture of one. I’m fascinated!
