Contribution to Recovery. The 2011 Revised Recovery Plan for the Northern Spotted Owl identified competition from barred owls as one of the primary threats to northern spotted owl. In the Recovery Plan, 10 of the 33 recovery actions address the barred owl threat, including Recovery Action 29 concerning a Barred Owl Removal Experiment. Recovery Action 29: Design and implement large-scale control experiments to assess the effects of barred owl removal on spotted owl site occupancy, reproduction, and survival. We [USFWS] believe removal of barred owls would provide benefits to spotted owls in the vicinity of the removal and may have larger population effects. Given the rapidity and severity of the increasing threat from barred owls, barred owl removal should be initiated as soon as possible in the form of well-designed removal experiments. These experiments will have the potential to substantially expand our knowledge of the ecological interactions between spotted owls and barred owls (Xxxxxx et al. in press) and the effectiveness of barred owl removal in recovering spotted owls. Removal experiments should be conducted in various parts of the spotted owl’s range, including a range of barred owl/spotted owl densities, to provide the most useful scientific information.
