Today's plans included a visit to The Living Desert. This is a zoo and botanical gardens. Jim, Dawn and I visited here in 2013. I loved the numbers of butterflies and was excited to go again. I suggested that I go off on my own and just join up with everyone later. I was disappointed in the butterflies as there numbers were very low but I was told that the temperatures need to be cooler before the butterflies return. Since we are here almost 2 weeks earlier I guess that makes sense. It was 111 degrees when we arrived on 9/11. I was happy to get great looks at a close Bewick's Wren and some Costa's Hummingbirds.
