It is a relaxing place to share a unique day and meet new species that we have in our environment and that we often do not know. The magical reality that is found is unique and incomparable with others. The service of the workers is spectacular, they are very cordial with the visitors. There are areas to charge cell phones, very large parking areas, and areas for walks, it has a souvenir shop.

I saw and photographed a large (crow sized) bird with yellow body, dark wings and a red beak at one of my bird feeders. Could this be a mutant oriole?

Yes, as long as they are on a leash.

There is a large bird. Probably a hawk of some kind in a huge nest in our backyard . Would they pose any danger to a 50lb dog?
