Sonoran Desert Museum

Picked up the Puppy and headed back into Tucson

Did the Sonoran Desert Museum

The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a world-renowned zoo, natural history museum and botanical garden all in one! 


Paths wind through various desert plants 

Cactus Wren on a Saguaro Cactus 



Several native animals in their natural surroundings.
Bobcat 

Harris Hawks in flight 


a Javelina (not a pig - a peccary) 

Prairie dogs

Mountain Lions 


and wolves

We looked for the Coyotes and didn't see any.  I gave my best coyote howl and a head popped up briefly.  He was hidden in the  brush.

Does this jacket make my ears look big? 

They even have a realistic cave replica you can walk through 


and a Hummingbird Aviary 



We spent over 4 hours there and still didn't get to see it all, guess we'll just have to come back!

Till Later,

Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n

Melissa, Gary and Tucson
