Description

I took this photo at Agua Caliente Park while feeding the ducks with my husband. Agua Caliente Regional Park is a park in the east side of Tucson, Arizona, United States. Its full name is Roy P. Drachman-Agua Caliente Regional Park. The park covers 101 acre. One activity that attracts visitors to the park is bird watching. Because there is water at the park, just about every type of waterfowl that visits or inhabits southern Arizona can be found there at one time or another. Also, due to the mesquite bosque and the upland desert area, many terrestrial birds are found in the park as well. The birds most often found include Gila woodpecker, cactus wren, owls, curve-billed thrasher, black-throated sparrow, black phoebe, bewick�s wren, mocking bird, western kingbird, morning dove, white-winged dove, warblers, gambel�s quail, vermilion flycatcher, red-tailed hawk, Cooper�s hawk, American kestrel, osprey, great blue heron, great egret, green heron, belted kingfisher, mallard duck, ring-necked duck, wood duck, gadwall duck, ruddy duck, grebes, American coot, mergansers, and, on rare occasion, pelican. There are other bird species in the park as well. This guest house is where they hold artists classes
