| USGA Summary Points: | Researchers have installed 130 artificial nesting burrows on our nine partner golf courses in eastern Washingon. Burrowing owls at six artificial burrows were observed in 2001 and 2002. This give researchers hope that artificial burrows will be successful for burrowing owl nesting and reproduction. 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 affiliate (KVEW) produced and aired 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. |
