Here's the next one of the International Owl Center's free expert webinars. It's going to be really cold, so it's a great thing to do inside on Sunday!
Managing Barred Owls to save the Spotted Owl: A longstanding conservation tool with Janice Reid Sunday, January 25 at 1 PM Central Time Janice Reid, a longtime Northern Spotted Owl researcher, will speak about Barred Owl management and its role in addressing the ongoing decline of Spotted Owl populations in the western United States. Reid spent more than 30 years studying Northern Spotted Owls in western Oregon with the Pacific Northwest Research Station and brings deep field experience to this complex and often controversial topic. Her talk will place current Barred Owl control efforts in a broader conservation context, emphasizing that the use of lethal management to protect vulnerable species is not a new or unprecedented tool. Reid will discuss why Barred Owl management has generated heightened public controversy compared to other species control programs, and what the science tells us about competition, habitat, and the future of the Northern Spotted Owl.
