One of the first residents of the new ENR2 Building - SGD's new residence - was a mother hummingbird who set up a few at the end of a data cable. On July 24, she hatched two chicks. You can check out the hummingbird family at the live webcam on the Planning, Design, and Construction website: http://www.pdc.arizona.edu/webcam/enr2_hummingbird.aspx. It's great to be sharing our new space with the local fauna. Post date: Mon, 08/03/2015 - 12:46 |
