Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum -Part 2

The Great Horned Owl and other raptors swooped low over our heads as the handlers put out meat for them. We were cautioned not to raise our hands over our heads!  The background vegetation was fairly typical , with barrel, saguaro, prickly pear cactus, and occotillo everywhere , along with all the various bushes, where we tried to find new birds.  We did see the Cactus Wren, the Arizona state bird.
The wind is picking up tonight and Baby B, our name for the trailer, is already shaking.  We've put down the awning, as the winds are supposed to gust up to 50 mph. 
It's been a great first day off!
