Today was the first day the students reported their ecology observations.
People reported on seeing rabbits, various birds, and even some hawks! Some other students reported on the types of plants they saw.
Using various online resources such as the Pima Community College Desert Ecology site, wikipedia.org, and Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum we were able to specify what animals plants, and bugs were actually witnessed. We also learned a bunch about these different organisms.
We discovered that most the rabbits seen were actually desert cottontails and we were able to distinguish the many different cacti from barrel, to prickly pear to cholla.
Some of the new organisms observed:
Desert cottontail
Barrel, prickly pear, and cholla cacti
Cactus wren
Mourning dove
Bumble bees
