The Imperial valley is an important agricultural area. However, the valley is a desert without irrigation. There are many small concrete lined irrigation canals, which direct water to the farm fields. The Burrowing Owls tend to excavate their burrows, on the outside edge, of the concrete canals. This Owl is peeking out of its burrow, over the edge of the concrete canal lining, keeping watch over the strange human with a camera.
