Owls of the United States and Canada
Author: Wayne Lynch
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM
ISBN: 0801897149
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
An extensive, accessible guide to the owls of Canada and the United States, featuring beautiful photography. There is no group of birds more mysterious and fascinating than owls. The loudmouths of the raptor world, they peep, trill, toot, bark, growl, shriek, whistle, chittle, whoop, chuckle, boom, and buzz. Indeed, very few actually “hoot.” They have become the stuff of lore and legend?from the Roman myth that an owl foot could reveal secrets, to the First Nations belief that an owl feather could give a newborn better night vision. But the truth about owls is much more exciting. In this book, natural history writer and wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch reveals the secrets of these elusive species with stunning photographs, personal anecdotes, and accessible science. The photos alone are masterpieces. Unlike most published owl photos, which are portraits of birds in captivity, the vast majority of these were taken in the wild?a product of the author-photographer’s incredible knowledge and patience. Lynch complements the photos with a wealth of facts about anatomy, habitat, diet, and family life. For each of the nineteen species that inhabit Canada and the United States, he provides a range map and a brief discussion of its distribution, population size, and status. Lynch debunks myths about owls’ “supernatural” powers of sight and hearing, discusses courtship rituals, and offers personal tips for finding owls in the wild. From the great horned to the tiny elf owl, this amazing volume captures the beauty and mystery of these charismatic birds of prey. Named one of the Best Reference Books of 2007 by Library Journal

A Habitat Suitability Model for Burrowing Owls (Athene Cunicularia) in Alberta
Author: A. F. Joy Stevens
Publisher: Alberta Sustainable Resource Development
ISBN: 9780778590255
Category : Endangered species
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
Declining populations of burrowing owls over the past several decades have led to the species being classified as endangered in Alberta and nationally. Population recovery is believed to be possible; however, there are several management issues and knowledge gaps that need to be addressed. The Alberta recovery plan for the burrowing owls lists protection and management of breeding habitat as important objectives for recovery, and the spatial identification of potential breeding habitat is the first step in the process. This study provided one of the first spatially explicit descriptions of potential critical habitat for the burrowing owl recovery team. This report explains the utility of this habitat selection model for burrowing owl conservation and should reduce potential confusion about applying this model.--Document.
