Dr. Katherine Gura will present on one of North America’s most iconic and enigmatic raptors, the Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa). She will share findings from her long-term study of this species, including information on Great Gray Owl natural history, breeding dynamics, behavior, and seasonal movements. She also will share information about the conservation challenges this species faces and next steps in her Great Gray Owl research program.
Dr. Gura is a Research Scientist at Colorado State University (https://www.cira.colostate.edu). She has conducted applied avian research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem for over 15 years, including spending the past 12 years studying Great Gray Owls in collaboration with Teton Raptor Center. She earned her Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Wyoming, where she studied variation in Great Gray Owl habitat selection, movement ecology, and demographics.
