Abstract

The forest owl conservation assessments emphasize the relationship between flammulated, boreal, and great gray owls and the forests in which they occur. The habitat requirements of the owls and their principal prey bear strongly on the conservation status of the owls. Establishing the characteristics of the owl/habitat relationship is not a trivial or straightforward process. This discussion provides background on the study of habitat associations that will place the literature on owl habitat in theoretical perspective.
