The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Tucson, Arizona
If you’re ever in the Tucson area, don’t miss the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Part zoo, part botatical gardens, part hands on desert experience, the museum is dedicated to learning and teaching all there is to know about the vast Sornoran Desert. I’ve never had a zoo or gardens experience like it. The place is outstanding, beautiful, intimate and welcoming.

Total Eclipse of the Moon – Tonight!
Tonight show begins around 6:45 with a total eclipse, lasting about an hour, occuring at about 8:00 PM. These times are for here in the West. The local forecast where I live predicts clouds, so I might not get to see it. You’ll see the full moon darken to red as the earth blocks direct sunlight to the moon’s surface. So many of us have been complaining about cabin fever this late in a long winter. Lets get out then, and enjoy the majesty of nature tonight.
For more details visit NASA’s Lunar Eclipse page.

The Great Backyard Bird Count
The GBBC is a lot of fun, if you’re doing it for fun. If you’re serious about science, don’t bother.
I have participated for years, but I began to discover that if my sightings or numbers disagreed with Cornell’s preconceived notions about what should be in my area, they were disallowed out of hand. I wrote them and complained and even received promises that the situation would be resolved, seldom to see any changes. I finally concluded that it wasn’t science and quit participating. You’ll note that I’ve made some alterations to my oringinal post. birdchaser has graciously and professionally dealt with my issues in a very timely and personal manner. I consider them resolved and hope I have not dissuaded any of you from having fun participating in the count. I think now that I acted a bit brashly and appologize. However, had I been treated like birdchaser has treated me, two years ago, I wouldn’t have been so bitter in the first place. That makes for a great lesson in interpersonal relations and good communications skills. Kudos to birdchaser for caring enough to deal with my issues in such a straight forward, warm and sincere manner.
The Great Backyard Bird Count is not about learning new things about the birds in our world, except at the personal level, its about supporting somebody’s ego somewhere.
