Summary

These data were collected for the purpose of Burrowing Owl population estimation and analysis.

Description

These data represent Burrowing Owl observations recorded during a 2006-2007 survey of the entire breeding range of the species in California, except the Channel Islands. Visual observation data points were collected by volunteers and Institute for Bird Populations field crews following methodology established in a 1991-1993 study authored by D.F. DeSante and colleagues (see: "The distribution and relative abundance of Burrowing Owls in California during 1991-1993: evidence for a declining population and thoughts on its conservation").

Supplemental information
The complete research article associated with this dataset may be downloaded at http://www.birdpop.org/DownloadDocuments/BP_BUOW.pdf As detailed in the report, the survey blocks have "Block Type" identifiers that indicate if the block was randomly selected or if it contained an historically known owl location. Sample blocks were 5km x 5km (25 square km). For a small number of records the field observers estimated the number of pairs in lieu of recording the individual number of owls detected.
