Abstract

Great gray owls (Strix nebulosa) inhabit forests, but not all forests possess identical characteristics. To understand the owl, we must understand the dynamics of the vegetation communities that support them. Those dynamics operate differently in the Northern Rocky Mountains and the Cascade-Sierra Nevada complex, both of which are inhabited by great gray owls.
