Aug. 2014 - The Swamp - Waterfowl Exhibit (5 Species)

Blue-winged Teal, Green Heron, Redhead Duck, Great Egret, Wood Duck

@Moebelle The Swamp exhibit was my favorite part of Brookfield Zoo. Have you done a video tour of that building?

@DavidBrown I have it filmed to completion, BUT I only used my phone, which goes against my current standards. Plus I did it before the giant salamander arrived.

@Moebelle It has been a few years since I was there and I was trying to remember all of the different exhibits within the building. I visited in 2016 and remember Orinoco crocodiles (were there American alligators in there originally?), the water bird aviary in the photo above, and river otters. Can you help me remember what else was in here?
