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.

Rock drawings, or pictographs, in a restricted area of Hueco Tanks State Historic Site near El Paso in El Paso County, Texas. The more than 200 "mask drawings" in the park -- the most in North America -- are the artistic legacy of different prehistoric peoples who, over several millennia, found water, feed, and shelter at this stone oasis in the desert. The "tanks" are geological depressions that catch rainwater, attracting animals and human settlement in the otherwise-dry high-desert surroundings. The area shown here is restricted because vandals have desecrated other such drawings with graffiti. Original image from Carol M. Highsmith’s America, Library of Congress collection.
