Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

My father is a docent at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It's actually a mostly outdoor museum, with exhibits of plants and animals in the Sonora Desert. He had a training session, so Mom and I wandered around the Museum. Since it's spring, there were a lot of flowering plants.

Here is the website for the museum: www.desertmuseum.org. If you're ever in the Tucson area, be sure to see it!

They have demonstrations of some desert birds called Raptor Free Flight. Today we saw the Chihuahuan Raven, a Great Horned Owl, a Harris Hawk, and a Ferruginous Hawk.

Here are the bird pics. First the raven:

























Here's the owl.
