Discovery Island

Discovery Island was a zoological park in Bay Lake between the Contemporary and Fort Wilderness.  One obtained access to the island by boat.  I only made it to Discovery Island once before it closed.  These pictures are from that trip in September 1990.

Vultures Haunt - home to vultures and scandal when several of them were beat to death in the early 90's.


A wide variety of birds called Discovery Island home.
