Abstract:

The Flammulated Owl (Otus flammeolus) is widely distributed in the montane forests of western North America. The owl is insectivorous and is presumed to be migratory in the northern part of its range. Little is known of the nesting behavior of this species. especially during the postfledging period. Here, we present the postfledging behavior of adults and young and describe the occurrence of brood division in Flammulated Owls. The study was conducted on a 452-ha area of the Manitou Experimental Forest, Teller County, in central Colorado.
