I got to take a picture with one of the stars of the Amazonia exhibit: the Roseate spoonbill.

On sunday May 1st, Dr.Holtz, Dr.Merck, and 6 of my fellow SGC members took a trip to the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC. Primarily, we were observing and assessing the Zoo's conservation outreach and whether it was effective. But, of course, seeing cool animals was on the agenda too.
