'Flock Party' at the gardens
Jack Porrino takes a look at his daughter Gianna's finished birdseed creation, one of the activities at the second annual Flock Party at the Tucson Botanical Gardens, 2150 N. Alvernon Way. The party was last Saturday. Gianna, 3, made the feeder by dragging a peanut-butter-covered pine cone through birdseed. The Flock Party included other activities such as a bird-and-gardening tour, birdhouse painting and a story time.
Artist Susan Libby helps Gianna Buxenbaum, 6, find the right spot on a canvas to paint a birdhouse door. The gardens has special and ongoing events year-round; go online to tucsonbotanical.org for details.
The bird-themed Flock Party included the showing of "Bubba," a 13-year-old great horned owl. Joan Cass, director of education at the Tucson Wildlife Center, had him at hand.
