We did great hiking in National Park, went to Wilcox for Sandhill cranes, went to Madera Canyon/Tubac, went to Kitt Peak Observatory for night watching class, went to Desert Museum for "behind the scenes tour with the keeper" - got to feed the otters. But the most beautiful time was just sitting here and watching the sunsets and looking at all the birds! (Plus late at night we turned on the outdoor light to see the javelinas eating the birdseed!)" |
