A Western Screech Owl took a nap in an old saguaro cactus skeleton as a Cottontail Rabbit came to my feet, unaware that the predator was watching. In the Arizona desert, a Western Screech Owl sharing space with a Desert Cottontail is a cool reminder of how tightly connected the food web is out here. While screech-owls mostly hunt insects, small rodents, and lizards, young cottontails could be taken occasionally—but adult rabbits are generally too large for them to handle. If you’re on Instagram

Last week, the Center filed new legal challenges against the Federal Highway Administration for failing to consider harms to threatened and endangered species, including the cactus ferruginous pygmy owl, from the proposed Interstate 11 in Arizona. #Funfacts about the cute critter in the video: An adult pygmy owl weighs only about 70 grams, that's less than the avg. weight of an adult hamster. They grow to be about 6.5 inches tall, just a little bit longer than a dollar bill. These are tiny, tiny

A cactus ferruginous pygmy owl pivots to look at the camera. The tiny owl species is a desert specialist, thriving in some of the hottest and most arid conditions on Earth. He even makes his home in cactus! This little one was temporarily being cared for at Wild at Heart, a raptor center on the edge of Scottsdale, Arizona. They specialize in rescuing, rehabbing and releasing the injured and orphaned raptors of the Desert Southwest, including many small owls like this one. The goal is to see them

Take the example of this juvenile ferruginous hawk and practice some self-care today. Birds preen their feathers for many reasons: to keep them clean and aligned, spread oil evenly to help with waterproofing, and remove parasites. So take a shower, hydrate, brush your hair, remove your ticks, and live like a ferruginous hawk.

The Ferruginous Flycatcher (Muscicapa ferruginea) is a small, discreet but charming bird often overlooked due to its quiet demeanor and earthy colors. The name "ferruginous" refers to its rusty-brown coloration, especially on the underparts. It has a dusky brown head, grayish face, and warm rufous or chestnut flanks and tail. Blends beautifully with forest backgrounds—great for camouflage. Found in South and Southeast Asia, including the Himalayas, southern China, Thailand, Malaysia, and parts o

The Arizona Center for Nature Conservation/Phoenix Zoo is excited to announce we had six cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl checks fledge from two sets of parents. We are hopeful for more chicks this season. The Phoenix Zoo is part of a pilot breeding program for cactus ferruginous pygmy-owls. The program was started by Wild At Heart - An Arizona-based raptor rescue organization in 2006, and works in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Arizona Game & Fish Department.
