Wings of the Tropics- Desert Aviary

Does a desert aviary belong in an area called Wings of the Tropics?

Actually, it technically does. I just had a look at what constitutes the Tropical Zone (or tropics), and it is most generally regarded as the zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Just a sliver of the range of these birds is found in that area. The only bird in the exhibit that wouldn't belong, by that definition, is Gambel's quail.

Good answer - I stand corrected.

Visited last month and their were no longer any costa's hummingbird on display. Instead this enclosure now has a large group of Ruff (Calidris pugnax) in addition to the quail. The zoo has 2 hummingbirds in the walkthrough area of this exhibit, a rescued ruby-throated hummingbird and a broad-billed hummingbird.

@nczoofan thanks for the update. Are there still ruff on exhibit elsewhere in the park (with the Senegal thick-knee, as I recall) or were they all moved here?

@jayjds2 They were only found in this exhibit, which was re-landscaped.
