USGA Summary Points: | Researchers have installed 130 artificial nesting burrows on our eight partner golf courses in eastern Washington. Burrowing owls at six artificial burrows were observed last summer. This gives researchers hope that artificial burrows will be successful for burrowing owl nesting and reproduction. This year (2001), owls nested and successfully raised young in two of our artificial burrows on golf courses. Both of these nests successfully fledged young owls. The local ABC news affilliate (KVEW) produced and aired (July, 2001) a 10-minute story on the project. The fact that owls successfully nested in two of our artificial golf course burrows demonstrates that owls can locate and raise young in artificial burrows placed on golf courses. |
