Understanding the Barred Owl Invasion: Impacts on Spotted Owl Populations and Ecosystem Dynamics

Guest speakers: Emilie Kohler & Kurt Licence, WDFW

Join Emilie Kohler, Conservation Biologist and spotted owl species lead for Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Kurt Licence, District Wildlife Biologist for WDFW’s North Puget Sound Region for a talk that will focus on invasive barred owls as an example of an anthropogenically-induced range expansion harming native species. We will discuss the competitive interactions between invasive barred owls and endangered spotted owls, how barred owls disrupt food webs and their threat to other sensitive species. We will talk about management tools for addressing conservation concerns like these, and answer questions from the audience. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this important wildlife conservation challenge of our generation!
