Flammulated Owl Survey Protocol
Partners in Flight Western Working Group
The Flammulated Owl, Otus flammeolus, is listed as a sensitive species throughout the western U.S, and a species of special concern in Canada. Flammulated Owls are small, nocturnal, neo-tropical migrants that vocalize quietly and are rarely seen. Because Flammulated Owls do not arrive on their breeding grounds until late April to mid-May, they have historically been missed in most nocturnal owl surveys.
Our objectives are to:
• Document Flammulated Owl distribution throughout its breeding range in the United States
• Estimate Flammulated Owl detection probability and site occupancy rates by forest habitat type
Ideally, once these goals have been met, we will use this information to develop a long-term monitoring strategy and to inform more detailed studies of Flammulated Owl demography.
