A burrowing owl peers curiously over the edge of its earthen perch, only its wide yellow eyes visible against the soft desert backdrop. These small, ground-dwelling raptors rely on Arizona’s open grasslands and desert washes for survival, using abandoned mammal burrows for shelter and nesting. The image captures a fleeting moment of alert watchfulness, highlighting the owl’s unique low-profile lifestyle in its native habitat.
