Book Synopsis Burrowing Owl's Hideaway by : Dee Phillips
Download or read book Burrowing Owl's Hideaway written by Dee Phillips and published by Science Slam: The Hole Truth!. This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the underground safety of a prairie dog burrow, a small animal emerges. It scans the grassland with its huge yellow eyes, looking for predators. The animal is not a prairie dog, however. The little creature is a burrowing owl that has moved into an abandoned prairie dog burrow. It sees no threats nearby, so the little owl takes flight to search for a mouse or other small creature to eat. Packed with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of its young audience, this colorful, fact-filled volume gives readers a chance not only to learn, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. Activities, such as describing the burrowing owl to a friend and discussing critical thinking questions, give readers a chance to gain insights beyond the facts and figures. From learning why burrowing owls collect cattle dung and take it back to their burrows, to seeing the fluffy faces of baby owls peeking from the burrow entrance for the first time, this book makes learning about the habits and habitat of these little burrow-dwelling birds an enjoyable, satisfying experience.

Book Synopsis The Comeback Kids, Book 8, the Antioch Burrowing Owl by : Penelope Dyan
Download or read book The Comeback Kids, Book 8, the Antioch Burrowing Owl written by Penelope Dyan and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The burrowing owl(Athene cunicularia)is federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in the U.S. and Mexico, and is listed as endangered, threatened, or as a Species of Concern in nine states, including California, where it is considered a Species of Special Concern by the California Department of Fish and Game. No one is supposed to do anything that could destroy a burrow. You must not cover a burrow with dirt, because you could kill an owl inside of it. The Burrowing Owls' population is declining. Nesting sites are being lost to development. Unlike birds that nest in trees, the Burrowing Owl is dependent on ground burrows dug by other animals, such as the ground squirrel, as you will see in this book. It is how all things work together for good. The Burrowing Owl is most active during the day. And kids can easily watch them interact with the environment, unless they frighten the owls away. This lends itself to a great educational experience for them. The author and photographer of this book traveled to Antioch, California, near San Francisco, to capture pictures of them in a habitat that is being encroached upon by development. Yet, in spite of this, the burrowing owl has continued to survive; and it is the hope of the author and photographer they will continue to do so. The Burrowing Owl is very small, only about 7 1/2 - 10 inches tall. It has a a wingspan of about 21 - 24 inches, and weighs only 4 1/2 - 9 ounces. The male is slightly heavier and has a longer wingspan than the female, unlike in other birds. Burrowing Owls feed on insects and small mammals, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. They hunt as they walk or run or swoop down from above, and they catch insects as they fly through the air. The greatest threat to burrowing owls is habitat destruction and degradation caused by land development, despite their protected status. The natural life span of the Burrowing Owl is 6-8 years, if not threatened, displaced, removed or killed. Once again, enjoy the photography of John D. Weigand and the poetry of Penelope Dyan, as you see how the borrowing owls made their comeback in Antioch by nesting among abandoned construction. The sad thing is construction was only abandoned because of the downturn in the economy, not to protect the owls; and it is expected to resume. This why it is important to get out the word about these entertaining little creatures before it it too late. Protected species should be just that, protected; and these tiny 'Comeback Kids' do deserve to stay where they are! Everyone needs to learn to live with nature and become one with it, or we will merely put ourselves in peril. This is yet another Bellissima book meant for kids that looks just great on your coffee table, and delivers a great big message, this time about a very little and very important, beneficial bird.

Book Synopsis Nest Habitat Selection of Burrowing Owls in Relation to Soils, Burrow Availability, and Burrow Temperature by : Kyle Blake Larson
Download or read book Nest Habitat Selection of Burrowing Owls in Relation to Soils, Burrow Availability, and Burrow Temperature written by Kyle Blake Larson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of mammal burrows is often considered the most important habitat requirement for burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia), but little is known regarding factors that affect the density and distribution of fossorial mammals and their burrows, and how they ultimately influence habitat selection of burrowing owls. Soils are believed to play an important role in this relationship, particularly with respect to habitat selection at a landscape scale. In this study, I assessed whether burrowing owls in southcentral Washington prefer to nest in certain soils, and whether selection corresponds to increased burrow availability in those soils. I also evaluated whether the association between burrow temperature and soil texture may be one factor influencing nest habitat selection of burrowing owls. Roadside surveys conducted in 2007 and 2008 indicated that the density of burrowing owl nests in the study area was quite low (0.14 nests km-2). Comparisons between use and predicted burrowing owl habitat did not show an association between habitat selection and soils, although burrowing owls did nest more frequently in loamy sand and sandy loam soils. Soils influenced the distribution and abundance of badger (Taxidae taxus) burrows, which are the primary type of burrow used by burrowing owls in eastern Washington. However, habitat use by nesting burrowing owls was not correlated with the availability of badger burrows in the primary soils. Owls nested in soils where burrows were both abundant and rare. Field tests comparing temperature inside simulated nest burrows indicated that burrow temperature was significantly different among soil textures, and that burrow temperature was inversely related to the amount of coarse material (sand) in the soil. However, I failed to detect a relationship between soil texture and temperature inside burrows that had been previously occupied by burrowing owls, although sample sizes were low for this comparison. Hence, differences in burrow temperature related to soil texture alone are not likely to explain why burrowing owls may associate with certain soils. Temperature differences among previously occupied burrows may have been related to burrow characteristics that influenced convective heat exchange (e.g., entrance orientation, tunnel length, convolution), although further research is needed to test this hypothesis.

Download or read book Cape Coral Burrowing Owls Don't Hoot written by Beverly Aherling Saltonstall and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the 1950's, Cape Coral had vast expanses of wetlands, teeming with beautiful waterbirds, and miles and miles of woodland areas that was home to an incredible variety of wildlife. Then the bulldozers came and destroyed most of the habitat of the wildlife that existed here. But like the Phoenix, out if [sic] the destruction, the little Burrowing Owl, found Cape Coral to be perfect habitat. With miles and miles of soft sandy soil they could dig thier [sic] burrows, and they thrived. But the bulldozers continue to roll and the future for these tiny little birds looks bleak. Cape Coral is expected to build out to 450,000 people with little room left for the Burrowing Owl. It is hoped that this little book gives you an understanding of these marvelous creatures and why they should be protected so future generations will have the joy of seeing these beautiful birds in person.
