Arizona – Sonora Desert Museum: Exploring Arizona’s Pygmy-Owls

Arizona is fortunate to host two distinct species – the Northern Pygmy-Owl and the Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl. This classroom program is a deep dive into the lives of these fascinating birds, shedding light on their biology, ecology, and conservation status, with a special emphasis on how they adapt to the unique Arizona desert environment. What sets this class apart is the invaluable firsthand observations of Steve Vaughan, a seasoned owl expert with decades of experience. This means you’ll get a firsthand account from someone with an intimate knowledge of these remarkable creatures.

His photographs have appeared in numerous books, magazines and calendars, and in publications including National Geographic, Audubon, National Wildlife, Sierra Club and Arizona Highways.
