Barred Owl (strix Varia) Nesting Ecology in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina
By:Eric Scott Harrold
Published on 2003 by
An improved understanding of the essential structural habitat components critical for occupation by barred owls was obtained from a comparison of habitat structure in relatively unmodified rural sites to sites in suburban residential areas with high human densities. This study showed that suburban landscapes can contain features characteristic of old forests including an open understory, large trees, and dense canopy cover. Older residential areas in Charlotte are best described as a wooded landscape in which the dominant trees are planted oak trees\u003e50 years of age. The home range size of owls in suburban Charlotte, North Carolina is smaller than that of owls of northern populations occupying natural forest habitats. Owl home ranges were located in areas consisting primarily of residential land use. Comparison of data obtained from suburban and rural nests suggests that owls are selecting similar prey in these environments. Birds were the most commonly occurring categorical prey item for both suburban and rural sites. The presence of barred owls in highly modified suburban environments suggests that the species is more adaptable with respect to tolerance of human activity than reported in previously published studies.
