Portland

Beautiful rose garden with mountain peeking through
Golden Breasted Starling

From the African Rainforest Aviary.
It's called the city of roses for a reason- Take a slow stroll (just before sunset) and enjoy the staggering number of beautiful roses.
Lesser Flamingo.

I don't know what's so "lesser" about them, these things are monstrous.  And hard to take one's eyes off.

They live in an open-air aviary with about twelve other species.

I ran out of memory-card space for the first time ever on this trip (one 128G SD card and a 64G Flash card).  I blame the aviary, folks.  

Put me in a place with colorful, flying birds, and I might never move from that spot again.
I believe this is an Emerald Starling.  The zoo lists all of its animals on its web site, though I've found the list to be incomplete.  This resembles most closely the photo they have for that species, though not entirely, I'm afraid.
