Fresno has an excellent mid-sized zoo with exhibits of the size that lend themselves to head-shot photography with modest telephoto lenses. At some of the bigger zoos I have visited, the large animal exhibits are so deep that I can't get good head shots with the equipment I have. Here are a few examples (however, of smaller critters), all shot with an Olympus E-5 + 50-200 mm lens (100-400 mm equivalent to FF).
Up first, a colorful clown-faced vulture.
