Desert Botanical Garden: Nature and Ecology – Roadrunners and Cuckoos

Roadrunners and Cuckoos are members of the same odd family of birds. These species play a significant role in human culture for good reasons—they exhibit extraordinary behavior. With an emphasis on Arizona species, and a peek into this odd family worldwide, this interactive class will explore some unusual anatomy of these birds, what they eat, how they behave and threats to their populations. We’ll spend about 30 minutes outdoors to see if we can find the Garden’s resident roadrunners. Instructed by Kathe Anderson. Garden admission included with class purchase.
