After Forest Fires, Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula)

Many owls benefit from periodic fire as long as snags (standing dead trees) are retained. These serve as nest sights, hunting perches and ladders to help young flightless owls climb to safety after leaving their nests. Please keep this in mind when managing post-fire forests.
