Wildlife and Daughters at the Desert Museum

On January 31 I visited the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum with visitors from out of town. Of course, I seemed to only take photos of wildlife, the grounds, and my daughters. No surprise there. Here are a few of the shots, and a total of 28 can be found in larger format over in my gallery:

My daughters are all smiles beside the organ pipe cactus near the Desert Museum's entrance.

We arrived in time to see the Raptor Free Flight Program, with a family of Harris's hawks. Pretty amazing stuff.

The cats, like this bobcat, were pretty active in Cat Canyon on this mild January day.

A showy Costa's hummingbird in the hummingbird aviary.

Even the desert bighorn sheep wasn't shy, though I'm not sure he actually ever moves.
