Sweetwater Wetlands, Tucson

Howdee all,

A few days ago Jeff and I decided to check out the water treatment plant..in Tucson.

Sweetwater Wetlands..

We have been doing some birding around Tucson…we see birds..but..Wow..

this place was hoppin with birds…

Upon entering the area there is the little waterway below…

There were birds flying all around the area ….

We were excited..

Black Pheobe The areas we have been birding were much slower

Because of year round water here…More birds…

Orange crowned warbler The water was still and reflective…

So i had fun playing around with the reflections.. Verdin..notice the orangey bit on the wing

Cinnamon TealHere's my fun with Reflections…

I love this one….with the cool swirls of color…
