Declining populations of burrowing owls in both Canada and Alberta have led to status designations of Endangered, both nationally and provincially. Alberta's Burrowing Owl Recovery Team published a ministerial-approved provincial recovery plan in 2005. The plan recommends continuing the provincial burrowing owl monitoring program in the 1 60 quarter sections of primarily native prairie in the Eastern Irrigation District, east and south of Brooks, collectively known as the Kininvie Blocks (herein, K-blocks).Burrowing owl nest density has been indexed in the K-blocks 11 of the 15 years spanning 1993-2007, with the most recent surveys completed in 2007. Survey techniques remained consistent, to ensure a valid index of year-to-year trends. Declines in nest density have been recorded consistently since 1997. Observations in 2007 reconfirm and extend that declining trend; only two active burrowing owl nests were located, which equates to a decline of more than 86% in the last ten years, and a 60% decline since 2004, the year of the most recent, preceding survey. This report documents burrowing owl nest density from 1993-2007, and includes descriptions of nest sites located in 2007.Given the migratory nature of burrowing owls, factors which contribute to their decline may be occurring in the wintering areas and on migration routes outside of Alberta.Within the context of local populations in the K-blocks, and with diminishing sample sizes, it is difficult to assess factors contributing to the decline. Nonetheless, it is possible that cumulative effects from the oil and gas sector, and other human activities (such as increased vehicular traffic) could be playing a role in the decline by affecting adult survival or nesting success. Further, additions to the prairie landscape such as fences, utility poles, and artificial nests for hawks have enhanced habitat quality for those raptors and may be increasing predation on burrowing owls. To illustrate, the 2007 survey showed that other raptors, particularly northern harriers, are common on the K-blocks and four of seven artificial nest platforms contained active ferruginous hawk nests. This report also includes observations of other bird species listed provincially as At Risk, May be At Risk, or Sensitive, recorded during this survey. Although status listings may have changed somewhat over the years, the species recorded are consistent with the standard protocol for the methods employed in the survey. This is the first time that such ancillary data have been reported from the survey on the trend blocks. Baird's sparrow and Sprague's pipit were both common and abundant on the survey; ferruginous hawks, northern harriers, Swainson's hawks, short-eared owls, loggerhead shrikes, long-billed curlews, and upland sandpipers were also observed. Ancillary data on these other species further illustrate the high value of periodic monitoring on the K-blocks. VI
