Short-eared Owl

Status

In 1991, the Short-eared Owl was on Alberta's Green List of species not believed to be at risk in the province. The species was moved to the Blue List of species that may be at risk in the province in 1996 because of concern over declines in numbers in the prairie provinces and other parts of North America. The Alberta Natural Heritage Information Centre has assigned a rank of S3 to breeding Short-eared Owls and S2 to nonbreeding owls.
