| This hummingbird has spines from a cactus stuck in her abdomen. |
Today's visit was going to be a bird walk but since we were walking with a herpetologist, we covered lots more than just birds. It was a great walk. A view of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake but not to close was included. There are many species of lizards at the park. And many butterfly species were flying and laying eggs. I was amazed to find a hummingbird with spike of cactus stuck in its belly.
