at the end of the month. Can someone living in the area or who have visited AZ provide suggestions for places to photograph birds and other wildlife? Also, do they have a zoo?
Thanks
Al

Also, often lots of birds in the Saguaro NP. Try Sabino Canyon for some good hikes, may see wildlife. There is also a botanical garden in Tucson. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Sabino Canyon is beautiful, be sure you check it out. There's also another place, that's been ignored the last few years, and that's Old Tucson Studios. They used to film old Westerns there, and old Western TV shows. You might find something interesting to see there.
