The Burrowing Owls of the Prairie Grasslands - Hardcover
The Burrowing Owls of the Prairie Grasslands - Hardcover
by Deborah Hodge (Author), Karen Reczuch (Illustrator)
It's spring in Grasslands National Park and burrowing owls are returning from a winter away to lay their eggs in this rare and protected habitat.
Lush illustrations celebrate the magnificent wild prairie of Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan and feature the remarkable burrowing owls -- the only owls in the world to live underground! Meet the owls as they prepare a burrow and lay their eggs. See tiny fuzzy owlets hatch and grow before flying south to Mexico and Texas for the winter.
Sadly, these little owls who were once common in the grasslands of western and midwestern North America are now endangered. As the wild prairies were farmed and developed, far fewer places were left for the owls to nest and raise their young.
Today, biologists, Indigenous groups, landowners and conservationists are working hard to restore the vital grasslands and help this precarious species recover.
Includes an author's note about successful burrowing owl recovery programs and other wild animals of Grasslands National Park.
