Migration Status

There is considerable debate about whether this owl is migratory or nomadic. Stable isotope work done by Charles Priestly in Alberta suggests that birds may move north post-breeding. Banding records show a considerable southward movement in the fall, but lack of site fidelity may indicate it is not a true migration.
