Brown Wood Owl Radio Tracking
Post Release Monitoring of a Rehabilitated Brown Wood Owl (Aves: Strigiformes, Strigidae, Strix leptogrammica) in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China 26 August 2011 Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden Publication Series Number 7 Post release monitoring of a rehabilitated Brown Wood Owl in Hong Kong Post Release Monitoring of a Rehabilitated Brown Wood Owl (Aves: Strigiformes, Strigidae, Strix leptogrammica) in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China Tan Kit Sun1, Ko Chi Hang1, Paul Crow1, Alessandro Grioni1, Debbie Ng1, Louise Fung1, Poon Chi Ho1, Roger C. Kendrick1, Gary W.J. Ades1 & Rupert Griffiths2 1 Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden, Lam Kam Road, Tai Po, New Territories, Hong Kong 2 Greenwing Ltd., 14A, Kai Fat Building, 204-210 Wing Lok St, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Abstract In April 2009, a nestling Brown Wood Owl was discovered on the ground by a hiker at Tai Mo Shan, surrendered to the Agriculture Fisheries and Conservation Department and subsequently transferred to Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden’s Wild Animal Rescue Centre (WARC) for rehabilitation. After being successfully raised, the young owl was released by rescue centre staff into the wild in May 2010. To determine its ability to survive (able to self feed and adapt to wild habitat), a radio transmitter was attached to the bird’s central tail feathers prior to release. Radio tracking data indicated that the bird was alive up to 34 days post release. The signal was lost on Day 35 and picked up again on Day 38. An intensive search on Day 52 yielded a completely decomposed carcass. Review of the data suggested that the probable time of death was on Day 37 as no movement was detected from Day 38 onwards.
