Abstract

Previous surveys identified three species of owls around Lane Community College’s main campus. Undergraduate students conducted annual surveys from 2016 to 2019 to identify species and habitat. We conducted night surveys by broadcasting likely occupant owl calls, then listened and recorded responses. We encountered three different species: Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), Western Screech Owl (Megascops kennicottii), Barred Owl (Strix varia), Western Screech Owl. Our results indicate that there has been a shift in species on the LCC main campus due to recent land management changes (forest clearing).
