The extensive garden areas were absolutely beautiful. A very well done desert museum to say the very least. A must see and stop. The humming bird aviary was very cool to have all the little hummers flying by you and some checking you out. We found 3 nests....my photos of these jewels were disappointing due to incorrect settings on my camera. ....a Charlie Brown .....Ahhhhh!!!!......Ahhhhhh !!!!! frustrating moment.
Costa's Humming bird 3 1/4" L Broad-Tailed humming bird 3 3/4" L | This kind man told us all about seeds of the desert and showed me the Agave plant from which we get sweetener from. We have these plants in Florida and I thought they were Mexican Bayonet. These birds flew around us in the Raptor free flight area on the Desert Loop Trail. Super cool to see them flying over head.
