Exploring The Catcher in the Rye   :   album   :   A Quick Visit to the Central Park Zoo

sea lion area The sea lion area surely didn't look like this 50 years ago.. It seems entirely possible that the feeding times were the same then as now (why would they change them?). If so, Holden and Phoebe saw the 2:00 feeding.

This photo is taken from just outside the zoo, not at a feeding time. Unfortunately, the sea lions are not in view here (they were underwater). I later saw several people gathered inside and outside the zoo watching them get fed. I only saw the very end of the feeding time and did not get a picture at that time.
