Good Day fellow ZooChatters! I have yet another species list and review I would like to share with everyone as I desperately try to catch up with the backlog I currently have. But before I continue this review, I would like to take a moment of silence for my Nikon D3200 camera, which had...

Hello ZooChat! I am finally back with another zoo review and species list. I had fallen further behind on my reviews for a variety of reasons, and I have a lot of catching up to do. I had a particularly productive year in terms of zoo visits, especially over the summer. Case in point, this is a...

Six Flags Great Adventure / Wild Safari is in New Jersey. They are notoriously tight on information and provide no way to contact them for questions about the animal park (no phone, e-mail, or contact form, messaging is turned off on social media, etc), so information here will be sparse...

So I saw this bird feeding in my backyard this month (March). And I assume it is a new world sparrow but I don't know what species. The bird has a little yellow on it's head which is why I am having difficulty figuring out. This was taken in New Jersey in March in my backyard. Thanks!

Hi guys, so I took this photo in the summer time in NJ. Both species of ducks happen to be native around here and I was looking closely at this duck and it seemed darker then a female mallard and the beak seems different so idk if it is a american black duck or a mallard I can't tell. Thanks
