Burrowing Owls 4th Place Finish


On August 19, 2009 the Western Idaho Fair awarded a 4th place ribbon to wildlife photographer Robert Whitlatch in the panoramic division for his portrait of the Pearl, Idaho burrowing owls.



"This year I made a weekly trip to visit the owl's habitat near Pearl. It was fascinating to watch their behaviors from week to week. The parents are very territorial and use a terrific flying subtrefuge to confuse threats to their habitat. I look forward to studying them once again next year."
