More Tucson Critters for Monkey5s Birthday!

A very happy birthday to the wonderful [personal profile] monkey5s!!! I hope you are having a day full of purrs and good cake. I hope you will enjoy seeing more critters at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Below you can see a prairie dog practicing tai chi chuan moves. And this Yoga practitioner is performing a Downward Dog. And here is beautiful gray fox. I love the stunning mix of gray and vibrant rust red. And here is a javelina licking it's nose. Javelinas are very indignant about being considered pigs or boars--they are a whole other branch of the family and don't forget it. They have very sharp teeth. And now we enter the hummingbird house. Here is a pretty one ruffling up feathers. Now we're smooth. And here's a momma on her nest. A pretty ruby throat who was delighted to be photographed. And here's one with some violet markings. And that's all for today. Next up, I'll show you some of the flowers, landscaping, and vistas there.

Oooh, wasn't it amazing to see hummingbirds OTHER than the ruby-throated ones we have east of the Rockies? And that grey fox is beautiful.

Thanks for the good wishes! I had a quiet, but pleasant day. Alas, no cake (still not up to baking) but a lovely Mexican dinner out with friends. Definitely felt like a good start to my personal new year!
