Visit to Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

It was a beautiful day today, temp 66. We decided to visit the Desert Museum here in Tucson, it is on the edge of Saguara National Park. I have never visited the museum in all the years I've been coming to AZ. It took us about 5 hours to take walk through it, they are making some repairs and some of the reptiles are hibernating but they have a nice exhibit on minerals and local animals such as big horn sheep, javelina, bobcat, river otters and birds.


They have a walk-in aviary and a seperate hummingbird aviary, this is white eared hummingbird.



They also conducted a flyover demonstration with 4 Harris hawks. This we enjoyed the most.



There was a crowd there as pictured here. They have 4 snack areas and we did stop to enjoy an ice cream cone.
More from Tucson tomorrow.
