However, I hadn't been there long before those clouds let loose with one shower after another. I didn't mind getting wet (after all, I'm from Juneau), but keeping my camera dry was a big concern. At one point I sat under a little shelter by the duck pond. The ducks didn't seem to mind the rain at all.
Even though this isn't a bird picture, I had to include it. This orangutan seems to have been smarter than I was. At least he was much more prepared for the weather, with his bright red rain poncho. Quite stylish, for an orang', don't you think?
There were times when the rain stopped, and the sun even peeked out now and then. I had hoped to go to the lorikeet feeding and get some spectacular pictures, but when I got to their area it was pouring down rain again, and feeding time was still almost an hour away. I looked for some nearby shelter, but didn't find any, so ended up abandoning that idea and scurrying off to a dryer place.
Here are a few more bird pictures I took between showers.

Great pictures. I love the colors found in nature, don't you? (and of course, I loved the orangutan, too!
Hi Linda :)
Oh my, this is a very nice collection of birds! I don't know which one I like best, but I do know I just love the one of the parrot with the rope. He has quite an expression on his face! :) Very nicely done!

such great pictures of the birds (and the orangutan too; very clever with his poncho)
loved the flamingos! when we would go to the San Diego Zoo, always fun to see them on their display at the front of the zoo's entrance :)
enjoy your day
betty
Love the pictures -- beautiful birds! I, too, enjoyed the parrot picture because of having hand-raised a parrot many years ago. Nice job!
Love the picture of the duck with the rain on it's back. Great shot.
Beautiful collections of birds here. My most favorite got to be that flamingo birds.
You have some amazing shots here! I especially love the duck with rain drops on his back.
