�Mammals - burrowing owl, western rattlesnake, bighorn sheep, badger and big-eared bat;
�Birds - sharp-tailed grouse, several hawk and owl species, American white pelican and trumpeter swan, great blue heron;
�Amphibian - great basin spadefoot toad;
�Reptiles - western rattlesnake, rubber boa, western painted turtle;
�Insect - monarch butterfly; and
�Plants - rough pennyroyal, rusty-cord moss, awned cyperus.
The value of grasslands as carbon-sinks is also recognized.

Beautifully tones, Theresa; this is a part of our country many have forgotten ... or never even seen! ; your description is spot on. While this image will remain Forever, I truly hope this part of our beautiful province remains in its natural, pristine state ....forever :)) {hopefully safe from the fires, Theresa; hope you are, too}

Great colours, leading lines, and depth of field Theresa. So much habitat we need to protect.
