Bell's Vireo chick in baseball-size nest, May 2011. |
The whole park is fairly wheelchair accessible, including a paved entry drive, parking lot and sand topped paved trails. I was even able to go through most of the beautifully restored historic Ranch House. The Tucson Audubon Society has its gift shop inside the park's Ranch House, and an art gallery featuring different artists each month. When I was there back in May they had a wonderful collection of rustic wire bird nests with gorgeous turquoise ceramic eggs, creations of Tucson artist Phil Lichtenhan . The array of wire nests were a marvel to see.
Phil Lichtenhan's wire nest creations can be found in numerous galleries in the southwest, see his website to see current gallery / art show list. |
