An early spring highlight for over a thousand Canadians is their annualNocturnal Owl Survey. Each year, adventurous Citizen Scientists listen for and count owls along remote roads. Volunteers from nine regional survey programs collect valuable information that documents owl distribution and abundance. You can see the results of their latest work in the newly-published Winter 2017 edition of BirdWatch Canada (No. 78).
Bird Studies Canada gratefully acknowledges all the conservation partners who have supported the Nocturnal Owl Surveys. We also thank the 2016 participants for their continued support, and wish the 2017 survey teams a wonderful season!
As with all long-term monitoring programs, there is an annual need to fill survey gaps. If you are interested in the Nocturnal Owl Survey Program, please contact your regional coordinator through our website.
