I'm not sure why such a common bird was in this aviary (representative of the Arctic, maybe?), but he's a beauty, anyway.
[Update] I found out that he has a broken wing and after he spent some time at a rehabilitation center, it was determined that he cannot be released back into the wild, so he has a forever home at the Zoo.
