DescriptionThis image depicts an ostrich walking along the inside of its enclosure at the Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The bird is walking towards the camera. It is walking along a dirt pathway it has walked many times before judging by the packed earth beneath it. The enclosure is surrounded by a fence made of metal mesh. Patches of grass and other small plants can be seen dotted around the inside of the enclosure. Several large bushes and a single large tree can be seen just behind the fence near the left side of the frame.
