Do I need to take that grizzly off my life list?

I've been to the zoo within the past year and don't recall them having much 
beyond what Jerry mentions along with a few parroty types. Had that lapwing 
come from the zoo it likely would be approaching people for food handouts. 
The zoo isn't much above a petting/roadside zoo.

I suspose that the chances that the Zoo at Catokin (spelling?) might have
lost a bird has been ruled out. I believe the zoo is near Thurmont. I know
that Lapwings are an expected rarity, but I was just wondering. Can't 
really
see Lapwings as a zoo bird but who knows....

The spelling is Catoctin. We've taken our nieces there and don't recall 
them
having much of a bird collection, other than some emus and some ducks. I
doubt if they have or had a lapwing. There is a grizzly bear. But that's 
not
a bird. I'm sure of that.
