Description of Subject Matter: Russell Lord Tracy, a prominent local banker, loved birds. In fact, he turned his backyard into an aviary that housed over 200 birds. Eventually, size limitations and mild complaints from his neighbors about the more raucous birds inspired him to establish a public aviary. On July 2nd, 1938 Tracy opened a public aviary with backing from Salt Lake City. The location of the aviary, on its current 7.5 acres, is ideal because of large cottonwood trees that provide shade and natural springs which provide an abundant flow of water throughout the year.
Tracy Aviary is now a private nonprofit organization that currently maintains a collection of over 400 birds representing more than 125 species. These species include some that are listed as threatened or endangered. Tracy Aviary has participated in captive release programs for endangered species like the Trumpeter swan and the Bald eagle. The aviary is continuing to contribute to the conservation of birds through the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's (AZA) Species Survival Plans.
The aviary is committed to providing educational programs and opportunities for the benefit of the citizens of Salt Lake City and beyond. Bird shows at the aviary and educational outreach programs for children in public schools are a central focus of the aviary education staff. Tracy Aviary is moving ahead to assure that the aviary remains an excellent facility for education and recreation of our community and our visitors.
Annual operating support is received from admissions, Salt Lake City Corporation, the Zoo, Arts, and Parks Fund of Salt Lake County, and through the generosity of many individuals, corporations, and foundations. Funding for the interpretive signs at the aviary was provided through a cooperative grant with the University of Utah from the National Science Foundation.

2006 photos: Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point.. Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia. Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
