EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vast expanse of Southeast Oregon's Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, a burrowing owl keeps a watchful eye over its nesting burrow. The alert and attentive owl, with its distinctive tufts of feathers and round, yellow eyes, is poised to protect its home and young from potential threats. The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, located in the high desert region of the United States, is a vital habitat for a variety of wildlife species, including the endangered burrowing owl. These birds are well adapted to the arid climate, with the ability to dig their own burrows in the soft, volcanic soil. During the spring months, burrowing owls can be found near their nesting sites, which are often located in open, grassy areas. The owls are known to be active during the day, making them a unique sight for visitors to the refuge. Ken Archer captured this stunning image of a burrowing owl near its nesting burrow at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, USA. The photograph perfectly captures the owl's alert and guarding posture, as well as the beauty of the refuge's natural surroundings. Burrowing owls are an important part of the ecosystem at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, and their presence is a testament to the refuge's commitment to preserving and protecting wildlife habitats. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the beauty of the natural world. Photographer Ken Archer and Danita Delimont have captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the unique adaptations of this fascinating bird species.
