Daily Postcard: Rarely seen in Bandelier National Monument, badgers may be found in the Pinon-Juniper woodlands and the Ponderosa pine forests. Badgers are primarily nocturnal but can sometimes be active during the day. Badgers are usually solitary animals except during mating and child rearing. Badgers are burrow dwellers that dig new burrows and move frequently, as often as daily. Photo by Sally King/NPS
