Day 2 of our observations and we learned even more than day 1!
Some students were really lucky in their observations while others were not so lucky.
Some of the luckiest observations included a desert tortoise, harris hawk, as well an Arizona blond tarantula! It's amazing that such a variety of animals actively participate in our Sonora desert ecosystem.
Some quick facts about some of the animals observed:
Desert tortoises can live up to 40 years.
Harris hawks hunt cooperatively in groups of 2-5.
Tarantulas live off fat reserves in the winter after they burrow themselves in their hole.
