Where the Owls Go: Methods and Insights from Short-eared Owl Research in Maryland

Andy Brown and Alex Pellegrini from the Maryland Bird Conservation Partnership’s Farmland Raptor Program will present their ongoing research on Short-eared Owls in Maryland, focused on understanding winter habitat use, movement, and behavior in fragmented agricultural and grassland landscapes. Their work aims to address key knowledge gaps for a species that remains difficult to study and conserve.

The talk will highlight preliminary insights, methodological challenges, and opportunities for collaboration to better understand and protect Short-eared Owls in the Mid-Atlantic United States.
