• This small type of oriole is actually a pair of Oriole warblers (the second one I'm not 100 percent sure is), no sign of other birds so far.
• Saw a bit of the baby giraffe
  
• When they were repairing the roof of the reptile building , they neglected to fix the area of the Grays monitor exhibit which suffered extensive water damage. The monitor is behind the scenes indefinitely.
• The rhinoceros viper was off-exhibit
  
• Coming soon sign on one of the frog enclosures
  
• Saw duiker in exhibit next to Emus.
