Specialty Expressions: FLAMMULATED

Expressions Domain Definition
Flammulated owl (Adapted from Partners in Flight 2000) Administration Flammulated owls breed primarily in open, mature montane pine forests. Ponderosa pine is one of its preferred habitats though mixed coniferous stands are occasionally used as well. Flammulated owls are uniquely adapted to foraging in open forest conditions. Dry forest habitat at lower montane elevations in western Montana is common, widely distributed, and relatively continuous, providing many opportunities to manage habitat for this species. It appears the species is well adapted to the historic stand components and structure that existed prior to fire suppression. (references)
