And a partridge at the zoo.....

This is a summertime shot from the Columbus Zoo. This little guy roamed under a bush at our feet and hardly stopped moving. My Granddaughter's enjoyed his running around so close to them but this was the best shot I could accomplish. Seems appropriate to post it this time of year. Sorry for the earworm I'm sure some of you will have that read the title to the post. :)

    He's very cute and that title can't do much to add to my permanent earworm I have because our son once played that song in a Christmas piano recital (and practiced it faithfully for days and days and days)....40 years later and I still haven't got rid of it ;>)

    no pear tree? A great shot of him; I'm sure he was pottering around constantly while you try to get him in your lens

    How unusual, not every day you see a Partridge at a zoo.
    All the best Gordon.

    It is just too cute! Did it let the grands pet it?

    At this time of year we probably have many ear worms. Nice photo of a partridge.

    A perfect little guy for the season! I have actually never seen a partridge - it must have been a treat for the little ones. He's a pretty little fellow. xo

    They are big to be sitting in a pear tree and yes I'm singing it in my head.

    That turned out nice. Fascinating creature; isn't it? I put a Christmas spin on my most recent post as well.

    Supposedly there are wild partridges here in Ontario but I have never seen one. Neat photo, Carletta!

    You got a great picture of this partridge. Now if it had only been in a pear tree.

    that's a great shot, all you need is a pear tree and you'd be right in season.
