Abstract:

The author states that by monitor the nest boxes of barn owls they will be able learn more about their populations and how they are distributed. The author states that they also want to learn barn owl nesting time, clutch size, and nest success. The questions the Barn Owl Project is trying to answer is: what factors play a role in occupancy, what happens to juveniles when they leave the nest, what is the distance the adults travel to hunt, and what is the frequency of adults returning to the nest. The author discusses that these answers can be obtained through banding of the Barn Owls.
