Barred Owl Management to Conserve Spotted Owls
Redwood Region Audubon Society is sponsoring this presentation. Northern Spotted Owls face what is characterized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an “extremely pressing and complex threat” from Barred Owls. Despite decades of conservation efforts to preserve forest habitat for Northern Spotted Owls, their populations are still in decline, and a recent report suggests that the primary cause is most likely competition with Barred Owls. Managing this problem will be a huge undertaking. Ryan Baumbusch, a graduate student at Humboldt State University in Wildlife, has collaborated with colleagues to create a mathematical modeling program that can help evaluate alternative strategies for managing Barred Owls.
