Denver Holt's Owl Presentation at Flathead Audubon's Nov. Meeting

December 2023

---

Denver Holt gave an entertaining and insightful overview of ORI’s extensive projects over the history of the organization at the Flathead Audubon Society in November. He takes us through a synopsis of what has been learned over the life of ten major research projects on owls; Snowy Owl, Pygmy Owl, Saw-whet Owl (breeding, wintering and migration), Boreal Owl, Long-eared Owl, Short-eared Owl, Great Gray Owl, Barred Owl, Winter Raptor Survey and Lemming Survey.

Objectives of these projects include population monitoring, and conservation related issues, such as; Arctic tundra conservation, grassland conservation, and snag (dead or decaying trees) conservation within forest habitats, which are important for some species of nesting owls. Watch on YouTube.
