Steve and I had some special guests for lunch. After lunch they had the opportunity to feed lunch to the penguins. It was a fun day:

I’m returning to the Cincinnati Zoo on Monday to work as a keeper in the Bird House. I’ll be there for three weeks doing what I do best: hosing down enclosures, cutting up fruit, feeding the King Penguins, artfully arranging food in a bucket for the fruit bats, and washing mountains of dishes. It’s a [...]

I am very pleased and excited to report that I have been invited back to the Cincinnati Zoo once again. I’m not sure the word “invitation” is exactly the right word. Perhaps “ordered” back to the Zoo is more accurate. Steve Malowski, the “Lead Cheese” at the Bird House, was kind enough to inform me [...]

A little appropriate background music from one of my favorite Groups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJF87m4_k88&feature=related Everyone loves Kermit the Tawny Frog Mouth Owl. But there are other Residents here that have their own claim to fame in the “Amazing Face” department. This little guy here is at the Education Department and he was a little sleepy, [...]

(Cleaning the Little Penguin Back Enclosure; I cannot describe the smell. The Penguins don’t seem to be fazed…It’s just how it is. Of course I was attempting to “Feng Shui” the rocks.

Cody hosing down the Auklet Exhibit at 7:30 a.m. Hoses are a way of life around here. There is what is called the legendary “black hose disease” that affect Keepers who handle the black hoses too much and turn the palms of their hands the color of charcoal. I [...]

9-04-08 7:27 p.m. I’m sitting on the front porch of the Intern house. My favorite place since I cleaned it. I have spent the most amazing 2 days. I could leave now and be happy. Steve picked me up at the airport, brought me to the intern house where I unloaded my stuff and he [...]
