One of My Favorite Walks

Sweetwater (Water Reclamation Ponds) in Tucson is one of my favorite places to visit and do some nature meditating.   Sometimes it smells a little foul; sometimes it doesn’t.   You just take your chances!   It is a popular site for birder’s as the 7 ponds (which might be full or not) draw a variety of birds.   On my recent visit to Tucson I just had to go see what birds were visiting and walk the trails.   It is so easy to regain a sense of peace in this place.   Of course I had my trusty camera and am sharing what I saw with you 3 Turtles Sunning Solitary Sandpiper -He's been here several months  Great Horned Owl  Beautiful Yellow Warbler Great Egret at the top of a tall tree - searching for food in the water below.  Pie-billed Grebe - in reflection  A Surprise! 3 American White Pelicans Red-winged Blackbird - if you've got it, flaunt it!
