: This report serves as a source manual of raptors occurring on Army Corps of Engineers lands in the Pacific Northwest. It consists primarily of a comprehensive literature review covering aspects of the biology of 35 species of eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures, and owls. The manual was developed to provide biologists and resource managers with background information to facilitate the application of sound raptor management practices on project lands. While the literature is cosmopolitan, references are applicable to species found in, but not limited to, the Pacific Northwest. Approximately 4,000 citations, compiled through 1983, are included. General guidelines on raptor management and survey techniques are provided. An outline of techniques is given for habitat assessment, development, and management applicable to Federal lands, and recommendations are provided for management needs regarding various land use practices and recreational activities. Basic procedures for conducting rapt...

—The purpose of this review is to present a brief overview of literature published through 2016 on the Burrowing Owl (BUOW; Athene cunicularia) as an example of how the science of bibliometrics allows us to examine the literature on this species and to determine and display important trends, including gaps in that literature. We conducted various analyses on approximately 1681 BUOW articles to demonstrate the utility of bibliometrics. We also compare the effectiveness of a traditional bibliography versus online databases. The query of even several online databases does not guarantee identifying but a fraction of the total references. Even the most complete database searched for the term ''Athene cunicularia'' produced only 38% of those of the current World Owl Bibliography Update. Topical areas that seem absent or limited in the published literature include: the genetics of many subspecies of this owl; the population status and trend in intact ecosystems versus human-altered habitats; details on the demography of Burrowing Owls in Central and South America; migratory patterns and overwintering habitat conditions; the dispersal and movement of several metapopulations; successful mitigation strategies; the effectiveness of translocation; the effect of various artificial burrow designs on interior microclimate and owl reproductive success; and a more comprehensive approach to management. This is an ongoing project that will contribute to a larger update of the literature on the owls of the world.

The spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) is a monochromatic species with slight sexual size di- morphism in adults. Methods currently available to identify sex of adult owls are ineffective for juveniles. Blood samples taken from owls from the eastern Cascade Mountains, Washington were used for cDNA cloning of a Z- and W-linked gene, DZWM1, to identify the sex of adult owls

ABSTRACT Los tamaños de las nidadas de Pandion haliaetus en el Lago Coeur d'Alene y en las cuencas del Río Pend Oreille del norte de Idaho y del noreste de Washington estuvieron significativamente asociados con la severidad, la frecuencia y la fecha estacional de las lluvias entre 1970 y 2005. Hubo una correlación significativa entre la frecuencia de las tormentas durante la estación de nidificación y el logaritmo de la media del tamaño de la nidada de la población de Coeur d'Alene, de 1970 al 2005 (r2 = 0.34, F = 19.3, P < 0.001). Las tormentas fuertes de lluvia que ocurrieron tardíamente en la temporada de nidificación se correlacionaron más estrechamente con tamaños de nidada pequeños. El tamaño promedio de las nidadas fue significativamente menor durante siete temporadas que presentaron al menos una tormenta de lluvia de ≥1.3 cm después del 15 de junio que durante diez temporadas con tormentas con menor precipitación que ocurrieron tardíamente en la estación (P < 0.03). También se observó una reducción en el tamaño de la nidada durante la estación reproductiva de 1980, la cual ocurrió después de la caída de ceniza producida por la erupción del Monte Sta. Helena, la cual aumentó la turbidez del lago Coeur d'Alene, lo que probablemente impidió la captura de peces.
