Chapter 8. Current management situation: Boreal owls

Abstract

The range of boreal owls (Aegolius funereus) in the United States includes Alaska, the mountains of the western United States, and the northern tier states from the Atlantic to Pacific (see Chapter 9). Based on the species' documented distribution (see National Geographic Society 1987, Hayward et al. 1987, Johnsgard 1988, and others) the owl may occur on 81 National Forests across 7 Regions. To document the management status of the boreal owl throughout its range we queried management personnel on all National Forests where the species is likely to occur.
