Taken at Pittsburgh National Aviary - Pittsburgh, PA

My husband and I took a day-trip out to Pennsylvania to the Pittsburgh Zoo and their Aviary; I'd never been to either and was excited for the trip. Our first stop was at the Aviary where I should say both Mike and I were very impressed. The Stellar's Sea Eagle is the first bird that you see upon entering the Aviary, they have floor to ceiling glass and these birds are not shy about standing right in front of it. To see them at the Cleveland Zoo is beautiful to but see how immense they are up close like this was fantastic.

I caught this photo on our way out when the male was standing near the glass while the female gathered sticks to make her nest. He was truly stunning to stand so near and see him so poised.

The detail on the eyes is just amazing. Me and a friend of mine have really been wanting to go to the Pittsburgh Zoo for a while now. :D

After the Akron and Cleveland it wasn't necessarily a knock your socks off zoo but it was nice and the aviary is a MUST SEE. But it's a couple miles away from the Zoo so plan for two stops!
