Why The Long face?

A bird at the San Diego Wild Animal Park hanging around the food area waiting to steal any unattended food. Not sure what kind of bird, Crane maybe? You could be right Abizeleth, could be a Heron.
A few nice about animals images I found:
Long Walk
Image by Adventures of KM&G-Morris
We started out on the paved pathway and walked alongside the gully near our house. We went under the bridge and followed the pathway we normally take up until we came to a dirt path that we normallly ignore. Big mistake... we wandered about for over 1-1/2 hours enjoying the heavily wooded setting that we never realized was so large. We hardly saw any of the forested area; lots more to explore. And I thought it was all gone but there's still so much.
What you're seeing is the pathways - the very dry ground that surrounds these waterways, and at one point we walk into a clearing where there's still a bog with water. We found two more bogs much to my surprise.
What really amazed me is that any of the bogs still exist here with water in them. Now I understand why there are still egrets and herons, and my favorite little ducks around our neighborhood. Sorry I stuffed them all on one page but it was one way to give you a lot of photos without boring you.
Amazing that in Houston, a truly large city, there's still such an amazing wooded area. We noticed very large cat tracks, probably a bobcat, very large canine tracks and I don't even want to think about that, and deer tracks. It makes me very happy to know that deer are still around here.
don't even think about it Still Life! this big chunk of texmex food is all mine

Some cool animals that are extinct images:
The Long Tail

I don't know what it is about the skeletons that cause them to look like that under a camera flash... hence I tried not to use it too much, difficult as that is with so little ambient light to work with.
Red Wolf Pack (Canis rufus)

The Red Wolf (Canis rufus) is a North American canid that became became extinct in the wild by 1980. In 1987, there was a reintroduction in northeastern North Carolina through a captive breeding program and the animals are considered to be successfully breeding in the wild. The Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington, IL is one of only a few zoos in North America with successful breeding red wolves with litters twice in the past two years. There are now approximately 110 - 130 red wolves in the wild in North Carolina. Litters from the zoo are eventually released into the wild.
The Red Wolf has a coat that is long and coarse; mostly brown and buff colored on the upper part of the body with some black along the backs. Muzzle long; nose pad wide and black; ears rufous; legs long; tail long, bushy, black tipped. Body is intermediate in size between the gray wolf and the coyote.
