“…In the Sierra Nevada, it has been associated with (from low to high elevation) black oak (Quercus kelloggii), mixed-conifer, Jeffrey pine (P. jeffreyi), white fir (Abies concolor), and red fir (A. magnifica) forest (Stanek et al 2011). Flammulated owls are thought to be obligate secondary cavity nesters, although it has been anecdotally observed to nest in the ground (Smucker and Marks 2013). Flammulated owls feed almost exclusively on insects, primarily Lepidoptera, which they gather from trees, on the ground, or in flight (Linkhart et al 1998).…”

The Northern Rockies Adaptation Partnership (NRAP) identified climate change issues relevant to resource management in the Northern Rockies (USA) region, and developed solutions intended to minimize negative effects of climate change and facilitate transition of diverse ecosystems to a warmer climate. The NRAP region covers 183 million acres, spanning northern Idaho, Montana, northwestern Wyoming, North Dakota, and northern South Dakota, and includes 15 national forests and 3 national parks across the U.S. Forest Service Northern Region and adjacent Greater Yellowstone Area. U.S. Forest Service scientists, resource managers, and stakeholders worked together over 2 years to conduct a state-of-science climate change vulnerability assessment and develop adaptation options for national forests and national parks in the Northern Rockies region. The vulnerability assessment emphasized key resource areas-water, fisheries, wildlife, forest and rangeland vegetation and disturbance, recreation, cultural heritage, and ecosystem services-regarded as the most important for local ecosystems and communities. Resource managers used the assessment to develop a detailed list of ways to address climate change vulnerabilities through management actions. The large number of adaptation strategies and tactics, many of which are a component of current management practice, provide a pathway for slowing the rate of deleterious change in resource conditions.
