For those of you here in the Sonoran Desert right now, have you seen the red on the tops of the Saguaros? The beautiful crowns of white flowers have faded and have been replaced by seed-filled fruit. The fruit is high in moisture and is consumed by many birds, bats, mammals, insects, and reptiles during the time of year when food and water are scarce.

On this day in Arizona history-
January 17, 1983. One man with admiration of Arizona. It's beauty, it's history, and it's people. He started sharing his knowledge by touring visitors and residents around the state and eventually the southwest. That man is Jim Vaughan. Forty years later he is still taking people on tour. The best part is he continues to enjoy it as much as ever!
