Welcome to wildlife conservation. You can have a whole community of people watching over the owls... and it takes just one bu****le to destroy it. This is one of the last remaining burrowing owl families here in Casa Grande. You think people wouldn't purposely destroy one of their burrows.... but it's kind of hard to believe it was an accident as well. We have a reporting page on our website. We have pictures of how to mark the boroughs and we have contacts to Game And Fish, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Wild At Heart that can all assist when burrows are in danger. Marking healthy burrows is as important as documenting destroyed ones. Please checkout our bio for more info.

A reminder that native bird nests are federally protected. If you are being told you will be fined for not pruning it by an HOA or City Code Enforcement officer we have the documentation you can share with them to protect the nest and reporting tools available so we can easily share violations with state and federal authorities

A huge thank you to our friend Hazzard from Dinasour Quill Studio that did the artwork for the print. It is species specific to some of the wildlife that use palm skirts for nesting. ♥️🦉♥️

The hardest part of rescue is getting the animal to the proper licensed center. This is done by volunteers. It's a great way to help wildlife and meet caring neighbors. Any animal I pick up still needs help getting them to one of the centers in Phoenix or Tucson. Commuters always welcome.

I've gotten a ton of queens, but I think this is the first monarch I've seen of the season. To be honest, I don't know if it's late or early or perfect timing for her, but I know we all should work on trying to protect them and the plants they rely on for survival. Native plants don't require much work at all. I really just require people to to give them a little bit of water and leave them alone. Thanks friends!

Everyone seemed to like this story so we've made it a post. I hope everyone's yards are able provide sanctuary to wildlife. Habitat is important for all of us and - it's free. It just requires us to sometimes just do less.

Hope for the new moon. Nothing has to be crazy and extravagant. Simple landscape maintenance that only focuses on removing the one invasive plant instead of clearing even a small patch down to dead dirt is just more practical. Land clearing hurts a lot of different non-target species and invites more problems. Selective weeding is more cost-effective and has way more visual and economic benefit. I can't believe they called the cops on me. I guess I'll take it as a compliment.

Now is the perfect time to start volunteering for a center near you. It's slow season. We all need help getting aviaries ready and new volunteers trained for baby season. Check out the map of rescue centers to find a place near you. This footage was taken from a rescue effort with where all the raptors we get in go for long term care. nteer
