OBJECTIVES 

 The 1991 surveys for boreal owls were initiated to document 

 the occurrence of, and habitat used by boreal owls on the Jefferson 

 Division of the Lewis and Clark National Forest. Similar data were 

 to be gathered for other owl species present. These data will 

 assist in forest planning and will contribute in the assessment of 

 distribution, population dynamics and viability of the boreal owl 

 on the Lewis and Clark National Forest.
