Back caption: A living swamp scene / Bronx Zoo, New York City / Gigantic cypress trees and living Spanish moss and air plants were brought in from the southern states to recreate this swamp scene in the Bronx Zoo's Aquatic Birds House. Here a dozen kinds of birds quietly go about their daily lives as they would in the wild, with no barrier between them and the visitors. The white bird in the foreground is the Pileated Heron of northern South America.
