Abstract

We compared habitat information obtained from tracking 12 radio-tagged Ferruginous Pygmy-owls (Glaucidium brasilianum) (hereafter referred to as pygmy-owls) in southern Texas during 1995 and similar information from pygmy-owl response points to evaluate the effectiveness of broadcast surveys in determining pygmy-owl habitat use.
