Chula Vista nature centre

Today I took time off to visit the Chula Vista Nature centre close to San Diego. The nature centre is located just off the San diego bay and the major part of it is comprised of a marsh. There is a shuttle bus that operates every 30 minutes ( I guess). On reaching the parking lot, you will be picked up by the bus.  A 2-3 minutes drive through the marsh puts you at the centre where you checkin by buying a ticket.(Adult tickets are 6 $)

It was a 25x2 mile drive , and I guess was not worth it in terms of photographic opportunities. However I did manage to get some snaps of the Great American Bald Eagle. That was the only thing I could find interesting enough to aim the camera at.. Nevertheless I was lucky enough to be there on feeding time to see some pretty "gory" scenes of how the eagle feeds.

In addition to the birds, there  is also a small aquarium which keeps sharks and rays , people   are welcome to interact and touch the sting rays  and learn about their feeding patterns and habitat.  Overall I think its a place that kids will like because they can physically interact with sharks and rays. 

 From what I saw, the centre stresses on habitat loss of animals and plants that are local to California, and they are trying to push the message to save the habitat. 

When I boarded the shuttle bus  to return, I had this thought echoing in my mind, have we humans infested this planet ? Are we taking away the right of other species to exist ?. Don't animals too have the same right as we do have to live on this planet ? Will be too late to realize this ? The plain truth is that we cannot survive single handedly on this planet.
