Monitoring Between-Year Movements and Assessment of Artificial Burrow Features Useful in Conservation and Management of Burrowing Owls

Our study was designed to (1) monitor between-year movements of burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia), and (2) examine effects of artificial burrow chamber size and tunnel diameter on nest-site selection and productivity in burrowing owls. We conducted studies in two areas, referred to as the Kuna Butte and Grand View study areas.
