	Flammulated Owl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The young owls fledge at about 25 days, but are not independent of their parents until 5 weeks of age.
		The Flammulated Owl is one of the smallest North American owls.
		Since it is almost exclusively insectivorous, the owls in the northern part of the breeding range must migrate out of their mountainous habitat during the winter.

		The flammulated owl is likely a common summer resident locally in a variety of coniferous habitats from ponderosa pine to red fir forests (Winter 1974; Garrett and Dunn 1981).
		Dispersal: Male flammulated owls may make movements outside of their home range to evaluate resources and the status of males in other areas and females may make movements outside of their home range to assess the success of nests in adjacent ranges to judge the quality of potential future mates (Reynolds and Linkhart 1990b).
		Occurrence of the flammulated owl has been documented to be absent from previously occupied forests in Kings Canyon National Park where pines and undergrowth were removed and snags eliminated from the mixture of old and second-growth sequoias (Marshall 1988).

	Flammulated Owl
		The Flammulated owl is an elusive and nocturnal species of owl.

	Flam Owl
		Flammulated owls will nest only in snags with cavities that are deep enough to hold the birds, and far enough off the ground to be safe from terrestrial predators.
		Flammulated owls in coniferous forests tend to prefer large diameter trees with a diameter at breast height of 50 cm (20 in) (USDA 1994).
		McCalum (1994b) indicates that flammulated owls tend to be opportunistic insectivores and are not tied to the population cycles of a particular group of prey taxa, however, the early availability of noctuid moths, may advance the suitability of North American territories for foraging by up to one month, although this still needs to be researched.

	Flammulated Owl
		Flammulated Owls prefer many characteristics of old-growth forest and are widely distributed throughout the mountains of western North America, from the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges on the west to the Rocky Mountains on the east.
		These owls use mature yellow pine habitat (Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines), the same habitat that is commercially valuable for logging.
		If we ignore what Flammulated Owls have to tell us about the destruction of this habitat, then we may well see reduced biodiversity, impoverished ecosystems, and desolation, and they will have been bearers of bad news.

		Distribution: Flammulated Owls have a scattered, disjunct distribution from southern British Columbia south through the Rocky Mountains into western Mexico, and as far west as southern California.
		Habitat Requirements: Flammulated Owls prefer old-growth or mature ponderosa pine, apparently due to the presence of large broken-top and lightning-damaged snags and trees for nesting cavities, large cavities excavated by Northern Flickers and other woodpeckers, open structure of trees and understory for foraging, and high prey availability.
		These owls are present in all of their historical range, so no apparent changes in distribution have occurred.
