On August 3rd, I decided to check out some zoo's in the local area in Peoria, IL. I first traveled to Wildlife Prairie Park to photograph some summer wildlife on a hot summer afternoon. I was able to photograph a bald eagle, owl, butterflies, a red-tailed hawk, deer, and a mallard. I ended up taking a few great shots at this park. I've added some of my favorites below:
A photogenic butterfly!

I also visited Glen Oak Park Zoo in Peoria, IL on this day and I'll add those photos to a future post in the coming days.
