Nom du projet : Inventaire des hiboux nocturnes du Québec

Objectifs : To better assess the distribution and abundance of owl species, species' associations in respect to habitat, and long-term population fluctuations for the most abundant species.

Résumé de l’ensemble de données : To better assess the distribution and abundance of owl species, species' associations in respect to habitat, and long-term population fluctuations for the most abundant species.

Première année : 2008

Années (commentaires) : ongoing

Saison(s) et fréquence : one evening in April

Fréquence : Annually

Région géographique couverte : Québec

Principales espèces couvertes : Owls

Méthodes de terrain : The survey protocols are similar to other roadside surveys, using playback calls and following North American guidelines for Nocturnal Owl Monitoring. Each route consists of 10 stops positioned 2 km apart. Citizen scientists are asked to survey their route during one evening in April by identifying all owls heard or seen. Broadcasts of Boreal and Barred owl calls, interspersed with silent periods, are used to invoke vocal responses from owls.
