Here's your chance to 'wake up with the birds'
Wake up with the birds
Richard Carlson of the Tucson Audubon Society uses his cellphone to make bird calls from an app he downloaded, to see if birds would respond. Carlson was part of a group of bird-watchers on a “Wake Up With The Birds” walk at Roy P. Drachman-Agua Caliente Park this past Thursday. The park has a large pond and surrounding trees where many types of birds and other critters like to hang out.

You don’t have to look too far to find these guys at Agua Caliente Park. These red-eared slider turtles were lounging in the sun.
