Fuller, Ph.D. Scientist Emeritus US Geological Services b never cease to be amazed at what we I can learn from birds of prey. After 40 years working in raptor conservation, I am still discovering new facts, but one has remained constant: We need them as much as they need us. Consider these examples: • In the 1960s, Peregrine Falcons showed us the dangers of the pesticide DDT in our t d environment. Today, they demonstrate r a h k the persistent and pervasive nature of oil c E spills that linger far beyond the initial b o clean-up. B • Asian vultures alerted us to the unintended consequences of new pharma - ceutical contaminants in the food chain. • Aplomado Falcons helped us recognize the value of high-quality grasslands habitat. • From California Condors, we saw how lead poisoning from spent ammuni - tion in hunter-harvested game kills wildlife and potentially affects humans. Whenever a bird of prey is in trouble, it’s a sign that we may be, too. If we remain alert and vigilant to these warnings from our feathered friends, how - ever, we can try to correct the ecological imbalances that threaten our natural world. Hands-on conservation is, and always has been, the hallmark of The Peregrine Fund. A relentless focus on birds of prey has allowed us to become a global leader in raptor conservation since 1970. A key component of achieving our goals is recognizing the unavoidable and vital role that people play in this effort. Humans are usually the reason that species come close to disappearing forever, but we also are a clever species capable of finding a solution. That’s why we are working hard to change atti - tudes and build respect for birds of prey. The best way to foster a conservation ethic is to give people the unique expe - rience of seeing a bird of prey up close and personal. Most people only see raptors soaring high in the sky or perched way up in a tree, never touching or seeing them at close range. Give folks the chance to get nose-to-beak with a bird of prey, however, and a whole new world opens up. The Peregrine Fund provides that unique connection with birds of prey. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all our generous donors who share these values, as well as all those who learn to live and work in harmony with birds of prey. Your investment in raptor conservation is making a real differ - ence in the world we leave to future generations. J.

  • Ecology and Conservation of the Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl in Arizona
    United States Department of Agriculture Ecology and Conservation Forest Service Rocky Mountain of the Cactus Ferruginous Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-43 Pygmy-Owl in Arizona January 2000 Abstract ____________________________________ Cartron, Jean-Luc E.; Finch, Deborah M., tech. eds. 2000. Ecology and conservation of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl in Arizona. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-43. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 68 p. This report is the result of a cooperative effort by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and the USDA Forest Service Region 3, with participation by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Bureau of Land Management. It assesses the state of knowledge related to the conservation status of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl in Arizona. The population decline of this owl has been attributed to the loss of riparian areas before and after the turn of the 20th century. Currently, the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl is chiefly found in southern Arizona in xeroriparian vegetation and well- structured upland desertscrub. The primary threat to the remaining pygmy-owl population appears to be continued habitat loss due to residential development. Important information gaps exist and prevent a full understanding of the current population status of the owl and its conservation needs.

Received 21 April 2017 To determine the most appropriate time of the year to survey Accepted 20 October 2017 owls, we played conspecific owl vocalisations monthly in a ASSOCIATE EDITOR temperate rainforest of southern Chile. From 12 broadcast points Dr James Briskie surveyed we recorded detections of Glaucidium nana, Strix rufipes and Tyto alba. Glaucidium nana presented a bimodal detection KEYWORDS curve throughout the year and we recorded two regular Broadcast; Glaucidium nana; vocalisations in response to broadcasting: contact pair call and owl vocalisations; Strix territorial call. Strix rufipes and T. alba both showed a peak of rufipes; Tyto alba detection between February and May. Strix rufipes presented three vocalisations: territorial call, contact pair call and female contact pair call while T. alba uttered two vocalisations: territorial call and twittering call. We recommend surveys during the end of the breeding season (austral summer–autumn) when detection is higher in most owls. Surveys should also take into consideration the variability of the vocalisations and include covariates in monitoring to evaluate occupancy/detection models.

  • Detectability, Habitat Relationships and Reliability As Biodiversity Surrogates
    ANDEAN TEMPERATE FOREST OWLS: DETECTABILITY, HABITAT RELATIONSHIPS AND RELIABILITY AS BIODIVERSITY SURROGATES by José Tomás Ibarra Eliessetch B.Sc., Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Agricultural Engineering), 2005 M.Sc., Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Conservation and Wildlife Management), 2007 M.Sc., University of Kent (Environmental Anthropology), 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Forestry) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2014 © José Tomás Ibarra Eliessetch, 2014 Abstract South American temperate forests are globally exceptional for their high concentration of endemic species. These forests are among the most endangered ecosystems on Earth because nearly 70% of them have been lost. Current knowledge of most Neotropical forest owls is limited. I studied how environmental and habitat conditions might influence the ecology of sympatric forest owls, and evaluated whether owls can be used as surrogates for temperate forest biodiversity. Specifically, I examined (i) factors associated with the detectability, (ii) occurrence rates and habitat-resource utilization across spatial scales, and (iii) surrogacy reliability of the habitat-specialist rufous-legged owl (Strix rufipes) and the habitat-generalist austral pygmy-owl (Glaucidium nana) in southern Chile. During 2011- 2013, I conducted 1,145 owl surveys, 505 vegetation surveys and 505 avian point-transects across 101 sites comprising a range of conditions from degraded habitat to structurally complex old-growth forest stands. I recorded 292 detections of S. rufipes and 334 detections of G. nana. Detectability for both owls increased with greater moonlight and decreased with environmental noise, and greater wind speed decreased detectability for G.
