Sweetwater Wetlands

12/12/14 - 3/05/15

Sweetwater Wetlands is an artificial wetlands area that was created to further treat water from the Tucson Water Treatment Plant. The water is passed through the wetlands and then stored in retention ponds where it is used to water lawns, golf courses, etc.

As you would expect, a wetlands area around Tucson is a magnet for wildlife. There are a wide variety of birds. Here's some of the wildlife I've seen in my visits.
