Mesquite Wildlife Oasis

Hoo-knew? Burrowing owls are back at Mesquite Wildlife Oasis. 🦉

Some exciting news from Mesquite: three burrowing owls were observed on site Monday, including one banded owl and one unbanded owl. Even more encouraging, these were not the original owls placed at the site. These are new owls and they found the habitat on their own.

Wild at Heart and RWE has supported the burrowing owl habitat and relocation efforts at Mesquite, and this latest sighting is a wonderful reminder of why constructed habitat matters. In Arizona, burrowing owls face growing pressure from habitat loss and disturbance, so creating safe, usable space can make a real difference.

As an outdoor classroom, conservation site, and part of a renewable energy landscape, Mesquite is truly important habitat - and it is exciting to see wildlife responding.

A few very busy weeks at the oasis 💚

And we wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Full-circle moments like this are what make the Mesquite Wildlife Oasis so special 🌿✨

Today, we welcomed a very special guest — an educator who first visited the Oasis when she was a second grader. All these years later, she returned not as a student, but as a teacher, bringing her own second-grade class to learn, explore and fall in love with Arizona’s wildlife and habitats just like she did.

It’s moments like these that remind us why outdoor learning matters — because the seeds we plant today grow into the leaders, educators and conservation stewards of tomorrow 💚🌵🦉

Here’s to lifelong learning, wild inspiration and the next generation of nature-lovers coming full circle!
