Thunderbird Conservation Park Day 2

This morning it was pretty crowded at Thunderbird Conservation Park; not surprising given that it's the start of the weekend.  Dr. K, Becca and I managed to find an area that wasn't too crowded, but we had quite a few encounters nonetheless.  One chance meeting with a young family was amusing.  Mother, father and two small kids were accompanied by a cute dog who was very curious about Becca.  While the two hounds sniffed the air in each other's direction one little girl said of Becca, "Is that a coyote?"  The mother said, "That isn't a coyote."  Dr. K and I were quite disappointed because we always thought Becca was a coyote.
