	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Owl
		Owls compete with each other for territory and food, but fortunately owls of different species can coexist by hunting at different times of the day or night.
		The great gray owl Strix nebulosa, the ural owl Strix uralensis, and the tawny owl Strix aluco all live in the same range, but the great gray owl is a daytime hunter.
		Courtship in owls is interesting because they must first overcome a natural fear of one another.

	Ural Owl (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The Ural Owl (Strix uralensis) is a medium-large nocturnal owl of the genus Strix, with up to 15 subspecies found in Europe and northern Asia.
		The Ural Owl is smaller than the Great Grey Owl, and much larger than the Tawny Owl, which it superficially resembles.
		The Ural Owl has an extended distribution area in Europe and Asia, from Sakhalin, Japan and Korea in the east to Scandinavia in the west.

		The Ural owl is a common species that may be found in coniferous or mixed forests in Asia, across Northern and Central Europe -- such as Plitvice.
		As a member of the genus Strix, the Ural owl is part of the wood owl family, related to the more diminutive great grey owl and the even smaller tawny owl.
		The Ural owl is a private and territorial bird that uses its acute sense of hearing to scope out the local terrain for small prey, from small rodents to squirrels and hares.

	The Evolution of Reversed Sexual Dimorphism in Owls: Corrections and further Analyses
		This is obvious for the European Eagle-Owl and at least some of Scherzinger's (1980) observations of Ural Owls could be interpreted as aggression redirected to the mate because of the presence of mated pairs ofconspecifics in nearby aviaries.
		This strongly suggests that the hypothesis of Jehl and Murray (1986) is not a viable expla- nation for the evolution of RSD in owls.
		The range of the means of individual samples of RSD in wing for the Little Owl is 45% to 54% of that shown between the 13 species within the four compiled samples in Table 1.

		April, of course, is best for owls, woodpeckers and grouse, but at this time of the year it is much colder and hiking through snow may be required to get to the sites.
		On the walk back, we had a Ural Owl calling (it could be passed off as a distant dog barking), and saw the silhouette of the bird in flight, with the long tail a noticeable feature.
		Ural Owls were also heard calling, but none came to hunt over the meadow where we would be sleeping in a restored log cabin.

	Auk, The: Reproduction and survival in a variable environment: Ural Owls (Strix uralensis) and the three-year vole cycle
		ABSTRACT.-We analyzed data on 535 Ural Owl (Strix uralensis) breeding attempts and consecutive survival of both adults and offspring from 1987-1998 in relation to the regional abundance of the Ural Owl's main prey, voles, which show a cycle of low, increase, and peak phases in their population numbers.
		Trapping times coincided with the first weeks) of the juvenile owls' life outside the nest box (early June) or the first weeks of independent life in the autumn (juvenile Ural Owls depend on their parents for 3-3.5 months after leaving the nest box).
		The number of pairs present in the study population was determined by the scrapings which the owls made in the sawdust layer in the nest boxes.

		The occurrence of an isolated, supposedly asionine owl (Nesasio) in the Solomon Islands is zoogeographically anomalous.
		The likelihood of post-natal dispersal was higher for females, young owls (1-2 yrs old), owls that did not have a mate in the previous year, and owls that lost their mate from the previous year through death or divorce.
		The large forest owl conservation strategy involved gathering all existing records, conducting additional surveys to fill in gaps, developing a model of preferred owl habitat, conducting preliminary Population Viability Analysis and negotiating a process by which a substantial population of owls would be protected in reserves which met criteria for size and habitat quality.

		During the laying period, females are weighed and measured, the moulting stage is determined, and the identification on a ring is recorded, or a ring fitted where absent.
		When dealing with Ural owls, the ringer is obliged to resort to protective goggles and a fur hat extended down the neck.
		Saurola says that the fascination of ringing Ural owls is that it enables ornithologists to keep track of the birds throughout their entire life span.

		Andrea tells us that Ural Owl is present in this area - he heard calling birds earlier in the season but was unable to locate a nest.
		The search is on for Ural Owl when we reach a spot where Andrea had heard one earlier in the spring.
		Today we had planned to head over across to the Bukk Hills area but decide it is worth re-visiting the site where Ural Owl was possibly seen yesterday as it is only about a 45 minute drive away and so head back up to the Borzony Hills.

		This book fully describes every known species of owl, as well as presenting the latest evidence on owl taxonomy based on DNA evidence and vocalizations.

		The radio-tagged owl spent three quarters of its time at night in bushland or within 100m either side of the bushland edge and the remainder more than 100m from any bushland.
		The radio-tagged owl spent 82% of its time in, or next to, environments that had been extensively modified by man. During the non-breeding season, it roosted among the dense foliage of several introduced trees occurring on residential properties.
		The owls appeared at dusk and flew from tree to tree until it was dark, frequently chirruping.
