Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson

The Desert Museum is 98 acres of outdoor exhibits of all the various plant and animal life found in the Sonora Desert, here and into Mexico.  Soooo many varieties of cactus, we're up to four varieties of Prickly Pear alone that we recognize.  7000 cactus varieties worldwide.  A flying raptor display; trained ravens and an owl that fly low overhead and put on quite a show.  Sometimes inches over the heads of the spectators.  Then there are the javalina, roadrunner, snakes, spiders, prairie dogs, coyotes, black bear and a mountain lion.  Again, how do I pick out pictures!  We have about 850 photos between us for the whole trip.
