Favorite thing: Driving along Arizona highways I occasionally saw these birds running across the desert. It's impossible to photograph them in open wild because they are so hyper so fast. In Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum I got the opportunity to see them in captivity. Even in the cage they are still hyper and hardly stay still.

Favorite thing: Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum has a cool display of prairie dogs where you get to see how they dig their underground channels. You come face to face with a bunch of cute prairie dogs and look into their living rooms. Poor little guys got no privacy in the museum.

Favorite thing: Sometimes cacti grow very close together, just ony by one. They can form a strange, sharp wall as you can see on my picture taken in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Could it be a kind of your hedgerow? Btw it's Organpipe cactus.

Favorite thing: You can see a lot of various drawings in Arizona-Sonora Desert museum. As I know they were draw by native Americans. Don't you like it? I like them, especially that one on my picture.

Favorite thing: Look at my picture, please. It's just another example of pottery exhibited in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM). Don't you like it? As I know it's an example of local native American art. Am I wrong?

Favorite thing: You can see exhibitions of local artists inside Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Do you like pottery? Look at my picture, please. I liked some vases (is it correct name?) a lot! Was it native American art or what?

Favorite thing: You can get a lot of information on fish of Colorado River inside Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
There are fishes which are endemic to the Colorado River drainage, meaning they are native to this area and nowhere else. All are endangered.

Favorite thing: You can find direction signs on trails in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (ASDM). As you can see on my picture there is a gift shop and coffee bar in the museum. Add restrooms, parking lot and information point.

Favorite thing: You can find Arizona Agave in Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
I saw a lot of various species of agaves in southern Europe and northern Africa and I must admit that Arizona Agave looked really impressive.

Favorite thing: Watch for Palo Verde trees before you enter Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. There are a few trees with characteristic green trunks and branches. Look at my picture. Hmm... do you know any other tree like that?
