American Avocets, and those definitely hatched a fair while ago.
The Zoo announced on their Instagram that a Bactrian Camel was born recently.
I just got back from the zoo, so here are some updates.
.Two Von der Decken’s hornbills are temporarily staying at n the golden lion tamarin/three-banded armadillo exhibit, so the tamarins can get some fresh air (for some reason)
.Work has started on the former Visayan warty pig exhibit. It looks like a little more mock-rock is being added, and not much else.

Here’s some coverage on the zoo’s research of sand tiger shark behavior.

I don’t believe this has been reported on, but Vera (the Amur Tiger born in 2017) has apparently been moved to Lee G. Simmons Wildlife Safari.
Missing: One Eurasian Eagle Owl

The zoo are down one owl and would be much obliged if anyone can assist in it’s return.

This isn’t surprising, as Gladys is a very uncooperative owl, and would often stay up in the trees rather then preform for the zoos bird show. I hope the zoo can find her, but if they do, she will most certainly be retired from the bird show.
What is it with the big raptors lately? First National Aviary's Steller's Sea Eagle, now a Eurasian Eagle-Owl.
Woah, National Aviary lost a sea eagle!? When?
My guess is that this eagle-owl will probably never be found. Minnesota Zoo’s grounds are huge, most is of it is dense forest closed to the public. An owl should have problem staying hidden there. Can this species hybridize with Great Horned Owls? There are lots of them in the area.
Around two weeks ago, they did manage to recapture it though.
Yeah it might not turn up again. Interesting question re hybridization, I don't know whether they can or not. Seems reasonable that they could...

In 2017, Salisbury Zoo had a spec owl on the lam for a month after its exhibit was destroyed by a falling tree. It was recaptured - and that was a bird that was not being trained to fly to keepers. I wouldn’t be shocked if MN zoo gets this bird back
Apon further research apparently captive hybrids between Great Horned Owls and Eurasian Eagle-Owls have been produced. I wouldn’t be surprised if one is found in or around the Minnesota Zoo in a few years.
That's assuming that Gladys isn't caugh
Having seen what Gladys is like, I don’t believe she’ll be coming back for a long time.
Apparently Gladys has been found on top of a house in a nearby neighborhood with a dead cat in her mouth.
Was Gladys caught? It might not be a bad thing if not, the more stuff killing Feral Cats the better.
I don’t believe they did catch her.
