Research Summary
CURRENT RESEARCH: The Blakiston’s Fish Owl Project is presently preparing for an expedition to the Iman River basin, in Primorye Russia, in winter 2012 to survey for fish owls. The Iman River is a unique place for fish owl study, as population surveys were conducted there in the 1960s and the 1990s. Therefore, we are in a position to assess a long-term population trend. We are also interested in assessing resource selection by fish owls of the Iman River basin, as environmental conditions are markedly different there than on the eastern slope of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, where we conducted a resource selection study from 2006-2011.
