This BLM grant is for the critical purpose of enhancing understanding of northern spotted owl (NSO) and barred owl (BAOW) habitats in the Coos Bay District, Oregon. The project involves two main components: conducting NSO protocol surveys across 20 documented home-ranges over two years to update presence and breeding status, and a three-year radio tracking initiative. For the latter, ten additional sites will be surveyed to capture and tag both NSO and BAOW with radio transmitters, enabling the tracking of their habitat use. This comprehensive data collection will support the development of improved models for preferred NSO and BAOW habitats. Depending on available funds, a third task involving understory vegetation data collection may be added to further refine habitat parameters.

| Description: | This project includes two components; northern spotted owl (NSO) protocol surveys and radio tracking of spotted and barred owls (BAOW). Twenty previously documented northern spotted owl home-ranges will be surveyed using current protocol standards to provide updated information on owl presence and breeding status. An additional ten sites will be surveyed with the objective of capturing both NSO and BAOW to place radio transmitters on them for tracking habitat use. Protocol surveys will take place over a two year period and radio tracking will take place over a three year period. The project will support further understanding and modeling of preferred northern spotted owl and barred owl habitats. Depending on the need for understory data to further refine habitat paramaters and available funds, a third task to include understory vegetation data collection may be added to this project through a modification to this agreement. |
