Northern Frontier - Polar Bear Plunge - Arctic Aviary

April 2014. This exhibit contains ruff, smew, bufflehead, harlequin duck, and long-tailed duck. This Arctic-themed exhibit complex opened in 1996 and was renovated (mostly its interpretive elements) in 2010.

There was a common yellowthroat in here recently and I think a black-capped chickadee too?

Yes, I saw this recently and wondered if that wasn't this aviary.

Ituri, I think you are right about those pictures being in this aviary.

What a treasure that website is! Although it needs editing (pick a few of the best shots of each species and omit the others!) it is quite a fine collection.
