Abstract/Contents:Presents a study with the following objectives: "1. Compare burrow occupancy and reproductive success between artificial burrows on and off golf courses. 2. Determine the level of golfer activity that nesting owls will tolerate. 3. Quantify the landscape features surrounding artificial burrows on golf courses that are preferred by nesting owls. 4. Document the proportion of golfers that observe resident owls, the recreational value of their round of golf after breeding owls have occupied artificial burrows, and their interest in observing owls while golfing. 5. Promote artificial burrow installment on golf courses across western North America by producing and distributing a pamphlet explaining the value of installing nesting burrows on their golf course." This three year study began in 2000.

USGA Summary Points:Researchers have installed 104 artificial nesting burrows on our seven partner golf courses in eastern Washington. Burrowing owls at three artificial burrows were observed last summer. This gives researchers hope that artificial burrows will be successful for burrowing owl nesting and reproduction. Researchers plan to install an additional 40 nesting burrows on participating golf courses in eastern Washington and monitor approximately 400 burrows (both natural and artificial on and off golf courses) on a weekly basis to judge whether artificial burrows enhances reproductive success.
