| A map of the refuge area. We only did about half of the water body on right |
 |
| The refuge and much of the surrounding lands contain highland wetlands. Average rainfall is less than one inch per month. The wetlands are fed form ground water issuing from surrounding mountains as you can see in background. |
 |
| Center: you see a couple of burrowing owls. These are among he smallest owls. They live in burrows dug by other animals. As shown in the following photos, there is plenty of watchable wildlife. |
