We saw shovelers, scaup, ruddy ducks, cinnamon teal, green-winged teal, pin-tails, western grebes, seagulls in the desert, buffle-heads, Canadian geese, a snow goose, ruby-throat-ed hummingbirds and a sacred datura plant(part of the nightshade family, and highly poisonous).
Fastest Flying Bird
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) is the fastest living creature, reaching speeds of at least 124 mph and possibly as much as 168 mph when swooping from great heights during territorial displays or while catching pry birds in midair.
Note: No Big Hawk siting; we looked and looked, all to our disappointment. If you've seen Tony, please write to me.
