Monitoring Burrowing Owls in Artificial Burrows

This study was designed to monitor use of artificial burrows by nesting burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) in and near the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. My students and I have monitored nesting burrowing owls near Kuna Butte since 1994 and since 1996 in the Grand View area. This report summarizes information from the 1999 and 2000 breeding seasons.
