A young burrowing owl has found a haven — conviently provided in a piece of storm pipe at the Phoenix Zoo in Phoenix, Arizona.
This species, which favors deserts and grasslands, is adept on the ground but does fly. It favors land operations in fall and winter, during breeding and chick-raising seasons. Opened in 1962, the Phoenix Zoo is the largest privately owned, nonprofit zoo in the United States. The zoo was founded by Robert Maytag, a member of the family that owned a famous appliance company. It displays more than 1,400 animals and contains 2.5 miles of walking trails through four main themed areas. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.
