"Desert City"
Pic taken at Aududon Arizona...a sort of bird sanctuary, see mission statement below.
To further protection of birds and, other wildlife and their habitats through science, education, advocacy, and conservation
We went there so Eva could take some pic's of birds with the Telephoto lens, she didn't really get lucky, it was hot and all the birds were hiding. They have cool buildings and it's a nice walk but if you're looking for birds make sure to go really early and walk quietly. I went into to the gift shop inquiring about a bird whistle (Eva was on the verge of tears due to lack of birds...I had to do something), the guide there told me not to waste my money on it but just make a "Pssesssh Pssesssh" sound. Apparently the birds will come out to see what all the ruckus is about. After walking around for 20-30mins sounding like a through idiot (which the guide said would happen "All the non-birders will look at you funny"), we decided to give up and head home.
P.S. I don't care about birds (read, I'm not a Birdie err..Birder)...I just want to see a Bald Eagle in the wild before I die! ....Eva's seen 2 of them in AZ! I'm just hoping some of her luck will rub off on me!
