Papago Park and the Phoenix Zoo

On Saturday morning, March 21st, my wife, younger son and I headed to the Phoenix Zoo to see a new arrival. But we spent half an hour in Papago Park aiming to add some birds to my 2015 list.We soon found a Cactus Wren - and had several during our stay - and found a single Common Gallinule at the reedy pond at the northeast end of the park.

The Phoenix Zoo now has two Califonia Condors on exhibit. Two birds whose release in the wild had not been successful. It was good to see these birds up close rather than flying overhead or perched at a distance!
