The
Short-eared Owl is among the most rapidly declining of North American
birds. In 2003, MRF launched the first stage of a research program addressing gaps in our
knowledge of the Short-eared Owl in an effort to help guide conservation and management
strategies to support a healthy future for this species. Visit the Notes
from the field section for updates on our activities to date, and
check out the reports from our
satellite tracking project. We are pleased to have MRF's first graduate student dedicated to expanding the scope of our Short-eared Owl research beginning in 2009 - see the Project Outline for details on this and previous aspects of our program. The References section was added in 2008 to provide quick access to a variety of information that may be useful to other researchers studying this species, or anyone else interested in its biology.
