Secretarybirds (7/5/24)

This has potentially changed as we approach the opening of Forests & Jungles of the World, but these were just narrowly visible across from the harpy eagle by peeking past a construction fence. They were visible from the standard path, you just have to look in an unintuitive direction.
Are these birds easily viewable on a main path? I was also wondering if they were behind a construction fence.
 
@USZOOfan42 I saw them by going to the harpy eagle exhibit, staying on the main path exactly where you'd stand to see the harpy eagles, and turning around backwards and looking slightly to the left. I was easily able to see them at a slight distance looking past a construction fence (not around or over the fence, I didn't do anything your average zoogoer wouldn't have felt comfortable doing, just using the fence as a guideline). They weren't out for very long before they decided to go indoors, and who knows how the construction has progressed so maybe this whole setup is moot at this point. But good luck, and let me know if you spot them!
 
@USZOOfan42 Good to know! This picture is heavily zoomed in, and I’m also impressed with how well it turned out based on the distance. Guess it was worth it to upgrade to an iPhone Pro for the first time before this trip!
