Did you know that nearly half of Oregon is high desert? At Oregon Natural Desert Association, we invite people to get to know this incredible region and get involved in conservation and stewardship of desert lands, waters and wildlife.
Great Basin Spadefoot Toads – a sleepy chorus

Badger
Badgers are generally nocturnal, but, in remote areas with no human encroachment, they are routinely observed foraging during the day. They prefer open areas with grasslands, which can include parklands, farms, and treeless areas with crumbly soil and a supply of rodent prey.
Badgers are born blind, furred, and helpless. Their eyes open at four to six weeks.
Latin name: Taxidea taxus
