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.

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.      Nesting female hummer sitting on her nest.  Building her nest below.   Anna's humming bird 3 3/4"L  |
