Someone told us once that the Cardinal was a PHD bird…because it was Brilliant..
yes it is…Female Cardinal…much buffier in color than the east coast bird Curve bill thrasher Curve Bill Thrasher
People waiting for Raptor in flight event
Featuring this Great Horned Owl
Very photogenic Roadrunner awesome Harris Hawk..
And The rugged Ferruginous Hawk
The do have Coyotes there
And Bear
And many other Animals..whose photos I will probably get in the future..
Jeff and I enjoy going into the Hummingbird Aviary
To see the hummers fly over our heads… Rufus Broad billed
This Barn Owl is usually greeting guests at the entrance…
If you go to Arizona..this is a must see place….
My favorite museum!
When I win the lotto I am using your blog as map to ALL the places I will visit. And in in your honor I will take way too many photos too :){Oh I already do that he he} Always enjoy your posts and pics. I have yet to see a curved-billed thrasher. I of course love the Great Horned shots.
ReplyDeleteThis sure is a great museum. Love the Barn Owl. And that coyote looks to be giving you the eye. You actually got that close to a bear? Oh My!
ReplyDeleteI am sure hoping the road takes me here very soon... I love your photos (as always) and you can never take to many as far as I am concerned... Have fun & travel safe!

Ugh! I can't sleep tonight but on a good note I got to see your gorgeous pictures on your blog.. Love the beautiful bird shots you got. How close were you?
ReplyDeleteI love the Desert Museum and you have taken some outstanding photos. The rufus looks like a baby. Looks like a great trip to Tucson.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is a must stop and enjoy. When we were there, we didn't see the owl. He is so cool!
ReplyDeleteOh Dawn, what a great place! I hope I can visit there someday. Thanks for sharing all these photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the Desert Museum! When we were there (some years ago) the hummingbird aviary was closed. But we saw - and loved - all the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of bird photos! I especially love the profile of the owl!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I need to go back! Lovely shot of the owl there! Well, my Cienega Creek story should post in about 15 minutes. We will see if it works!
ReplyDeleteThis place looks way cool! Love the pictures, especially of the humming birds
