Graylag goose (domestic type) - Watson Lake Park - Prescott This is a Graylag goose (domestic type) at Watson Lake Park north of Prescott. I had to triple check my identification of this goose. This is in the lower lake area. Very nice facilities. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Graylag_Goose/overview" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Graylag_Goose/overview</a> Graylag Geese are one of the most common and conspicuous species of geese across much of Europe. Wild Graylag Geese are very rare in North America, but domestic geese (which are descended from Graylag) are common sights in farms and parks. In the wild, these big, loud, orange-billed geese nest in wetlands and lakes. They graze for food in grasslands and agricultural areas and form large flocks outside of the breeding season. Wild Graylag Geese are very rare in North America, but you're likely to see domestic geese descended from Graylags in parks and farms. They can vary considerably in appearance, and if you report them to eBird, record them as "Graylag Goose (Domestic Type)." <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Lake_" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Lake_</a>(Arizona) "Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs at the Granite Dells, in Prescott, Arizona, that was formed in the early 1900s when the Chino Valley Irrigation District built a dam on Granite Creek.

Local rockclimbers use the granite cliffs above and adjacent to the lake for top-roping and lead climbing.

Roadrunner - Watson Lake Park - Prescott I was hoping to see a roadrunner. Instead I think I found a trail walker [rimshot]. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner</a> The roadrunners (genus Geococcyx), also known as chaparral birds or chaparral cocks, are two species of fast-running ground cuckoos with long tails and crests. They are found in the southwestern and south-central United States, Mexico and Central America,[2][3] usually in the desert. Although capable of flight, roadrunners generally run away from predators. On the ground, some have been clocked at 32 km/h (20 mph). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Lake_" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_Lake_</a>(Arizona) "Watson Lake is one of two reservoirs at the Granite Dells, in Prescott, Arizona, that was formed in the early 1900s when the Chino Valley Irrigation District built a dam on Granite Creek.

Highlands Center for Natural History - Saw Whet Owl Sculpture - Prescott After leaving Lynx Lake, I stopped at the Highlands Center for Natural History. It was closed on Sunday. I wandered around the grounds. It looks like an interesting place. I liked this little owl sculpture. I think it represents a Saw Whet Owl on a Gambel Oak. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Saw-whet_Owl/overview" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Saw-whet_Owl/overview</a> A tiny owl with a catlike face, oversized head, and bright yellow eyes, the Northern Saw-whet Owl is practically bursting with attitude. Where mice and other small mammals are concerned this fierce, silent owl is anything but cute. One of the most common owls in forests across northern North America (and across the U.S. in winter), saw-whets are highly nocturnal and seldom seen. Their high-pitched too-too-too call is a common evening sound in evergreen mountain forests from January through May. <a href="https://highlandscenter.org/about-us/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">highlandscenter.org/about-us/</a> "The Highlands Center for Natural History is a regional hub for lifelong learning through outdoor education. We nurture a meaningful sense of place and foster an appreciation for and knowledge of the Central Arizona Highlands. The development of both onsite and offsite outdoor education programs and partnerships provides opportunities for our community to understand the connections between humanity and the natural world, inspiring all to live in a respectful and sustainable way. We believe that everyone has a fundamental need to connect with the natural world. "Originally the Community Nature Center, an organization that hosted programs using a 20-acre natural site in the Prescott Unified School District, the Highlands Center for Natural History has served the residents of Central Arizona for nearly three decades.

Since that time the Highlands Center has grown to offer an 80-acre campus in the Prescott National Forest near Lynx Lake, has built remarkable facilities, and now offers community events and outdoor educational programs and opportunities year-round."
