An owl takes a break in the grass.
Wild Neighbors: Stories from CCPR Trail Cams
While most of us are asleep, Rogers Lake County Natural Area is very much alive.
Our trail cam caught this owl keeping watch in the dark.
Coconino County is home to several owl species, including the Great Horned Owl, the Western Screech Owl, the Northern Pygmy Owl, and the Long-eared Owl.
Nocturnal and nearly silent in flight, owls are among the most rarely spotted wildlife in our parks, which makes a trail cam sighting like this one extra special.
Rogers Lake County Natural Area sits about 10 miles southwest of Flagstaff on Woody Mountain Road, 2,200 acres of high-elevation wetland and wildlife corridor that is maintained and protected by Coconino County Parks and Recreation.
