Specialty Expressions: bubo

ExpressionsDomainDefinition
Bubo virginianusAdministrationGreat horned owls occupy more diverse habitats than any other owl; habitats harboring great horned owls include deep forests (both coniferous and deciduous) and open woodlands. Great horned owls prefer mature successional stages with openings. Great horned owl habitat usually includes fields and/or wetlands. Direct impacts of fire on great horned owls include loss of nestlings, nest trees, roost sites, and foraging areas; severe fire can result in local loss of preferred habitat. Great horned owl populations are probably minimally affected by even large fires, as this owl has nonspecific habitat requirements and moves to unaffected sites. (references)
