I'll post under this thread since Stone Zoo, does not have a forum. Few weeks ago, the Masters of Flight: Birds of Prey, opened at Stone Zoo. It's a BoP show, showcasing various BoP, during a few shows a few times a day. The show is free along with admission. I posted under here to announce that Stone Zoo will be opening two new exhibits this summer, Whooping Crane and Sandhill Crane. The exhibit will take over the former Duck Pond, near the cabin in Yukon Creek. For a small zoo, for them to be getting Whooping Crane, is rather amazing, at least I think so. I know, just birds, but what awesome creatures they are. The two crane species will make six species displayed between Franklin Park and Stone Zoo, which are both run by ZNE. This will make three species at Stone Zoo (Black-necked, Whooping and Sandhill) and the other three at Franklin Park (Wattled, Siberian and Red-Crowned). Not huge news, but I think it'll be nice to have these two species on display at Stone Zoo. The area where they will be going is just over 1/3 an acre. The demolition is done and construction has started. See how things turn out in a month or so.
