After I left Phoenix, I got to go to Tucson, and the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. These are photos from my first trip (I went twice while I was there). There will be multiple postings from this set.




View - This is the view I saw when I finally arrived at the museum


Bobcat - The bobcats were very active in the morning, so I got some nice action shots. Here he is getting ready to attack his mate.


Bobcat - She is very interested in that log, completely unaware that she is being stalked.


Bobcat - I am *so* interesting


Bunny - I was able to get REALLY close to this bunny. Right after I took this shot, he scampered away.


Bird - In case you don't read beaks, he is saying "tweat"


Cactus - Well, most of a cactus anyway.


Cactus - Shhh, he's shy.


Cactus - When it gets dark, this cactus sneaks out from the rocks and attacks passers by. That's why they close the museum at 5.


Bird - When the wind blew, the cactus bones would rattle, and the bird would do a little dance.

I see you've encountered jumping cholla.

Yes, that's what made me think of the caption. That, and that particular cactus looks a bit sneaky.
