Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum 3/3








We spent over 5 hours at the Desert Museum which is really a zoo and a desert botanical garden and not a museum. We watched a raptor presentation where we saw a Chiluahuan Raven, Barn Owl, and a Ferruginan Hawk fly around us and then land on tree limbs where the handlers had placed some food. We also went to a presentation on gila monster and diamond back rattler. Other highlights included a hummingbird aviary where we observed a hummingbird feeding its young and seeing several Javelinas (peccary)
