Spotted Owl Roost and Nest Site Selection in Northwestern California
We directly observed roost and nest site selection in a population of northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) in northwestern California during 1985-89. Because of potential biases caused by use of radio telemetry in previous studies, we examined habitat use relative to habitat availability at a level not previously reported for spotted owls. Spotted owls selected coniferous forest c...

ON March 19, 1926, the nest of a Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus pallescens?) was found in one of the thickly wooded canyons on the military reservation, Fort Riley, Kansas, which presented an unusual opportunity for intimate study of the nest life and growth of the young from very early in their life history until the leaving of the nest. The terrain consists of rolling grass-covered hills ...
متن کاملEffectiveness of voluntary habitat stewardship in conserving grassland: case of operation burrowing owl in Saskatchewan.

The Operation Burrowing Owl (OBO) stewardship program, initiated in 1987, was evaluated for its effectiveness in conservation of grassland habitat during 1986-1993. The 108 OBO sites from 1987 to 88 and 98 randomly selected non-OBO sites that were grassland in 1986 in the Regina-Weyb...
متن کاملPellet Formation in a Great Horned Owl: a Roentgenographic Study
IN the literature on owls, there has been much interest in the formation in the upper gastro-intestinal tract of pellets which contain indigestible material and which are subsequently regurgitated. This feature of gastrointestinal function has interested bird physiologists, and analysis of the pellets has been used to monitor feeding habits (Errington et al., 1940). Although pellet formation is...
متن کاملNest desertion by blue-gray gnatcatchers in association with brown-headed cowbird parasitism
The blue-gray gnatcatcher, Polioptila caerulea, is one of the smallest regular hosts of the brown-headed cowbird, Molothrus ater. Gnatcatchers typically raise none of their own young when parasitized, yet anti-parasite behaviours have not been reported. A blue-gray gnatcatcher population in which pairs often desert nests when parasitized by cowbirds was studied to examine the success of a deser...
