Here is an Arizona riddle for you — when is a museum not a museum? When it is a zoo. That is the mystique of the Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson. It is, in fact, a zoo featuring the plants and animals from the Sonoran Desert — that part of our country encompassing the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix area) and south into Mexico. My favorite part of the museum is the hummingbird aviary. Yes, an entire enclosure for hummingbirds! These tiny jewels offer amazing flying acrobatic skills — which makes them tough to photograph except when they land on a perch. Looks like another Anna's Hummingbird with its tongue extended. This is, of course, a great adaptation to allow hummingbirds to drink the nectar of long tubular flowers.
