The presentation “Raptors of the Desert” by Susan Doggett
was very informative and interesting. Susan brought along a few live raptors
for everyone to see up close and personal. Thank you, Susan!

Karen’s Commentary: Finally,
some warmth! Even though our “cold” weather is ridiculous to people in truly
frigid regions, it is still just plain miserable to me.
Darlene’s Commentary:
Mother Nature has blessed our desert again with color everywhere! It is
blooming in steps, and new plants are sprouting in unexpected places. Thank
you!
