Statewide Survey of Breeding Burrowing Owls in California

During the 2006 and 2007 breeding seasons, IBP coordinated hundreds of volunteers up and down California to assess the present-day distribution and abundance of breeding Burrowing Owls in California.

We are using the Burrowing Owl survey data to:

• Map the distribution of Burrowing Owls across the state
• Estimate the state-wide population size
• Estimate the population size for each of 14 individual regions across the state
• Assess regional and statewide population changes since 1993, when IBP last assessed the statewide population of breeding Burrowing Owls

We will be posting survey results to this site soon.

In the meantime, you can view our 2008 Spring Newsletter for survey participants HERE.
