Description

The Mexican spotted owl is listed as Threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, including in Colorado, where they inhabit forested mountains and canyons, facing threats from habitat loss (timber management, development, fire) and competition, with recovery efforts focusing on habitat protection and monitoring their presence. 

Join Denver Audubon for a presentation from Adrienne Cunningham, the Mexican Spotted Owl Biologist for Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, about these fascinating birds. Adrienne has over 10 years of experience conducting surveys of Mexican Spotted Owls. She will share the life history of this interesting species, what is currently being done in Colorado to try and conserve them, and what will hopefully be done in the future.
