The Sonoran Desert is a wonderful place to visit and you can do it right in Zoo.

This is a male Verdin, a flighty little beauty

and this is an Anna's Hummingbird. These smaller birds take a bit of
patience to see but it is well worth the effort

.

Of course almost everyone recognizes the Roadrunner, but no,
\Wiley Coyote in not in here with him.

This bird, a Pyrrhuloxia, is actually related to our Cardinal, but lives
in the extreme southwest and Mexico.
