Flammulated Owls in Montana and Idaho
Flammulated owl and associated vegetation data from the University of Montana’s Avian Science Center (ASC). As part of the Landbird Monitoring Program, during the summer of 2005 the Avian Science Center initiated the first-ever region-wide survey for Flammulated Owls in Montana and North Idaho. Prior to this field season, Flammulated Owls had not been adequately surveyed across Forest Service lands in this region. The ASC developed a pilot monitoring protocol, selected stands via GIS modeling, and surveyed for owls on all 12 Forests in Region 1. For more information including a final report, interactive mapping application, Flammulated owl slide show, results summary table, Google Earth downloads, and more information on spatial data see http://avianscience.dbs.umt.edu/research_landbird_flam.htm.
