Preferred Habitat
Spotted Owls occur in closed-canopy, uneven-aged, late-successional and old-growth forests; Mexican Spotted Owls also occur in deep, steep-walled canyons with little canopy cover. Many habitat measurements were taken in plots between 0.1 and 2 acres (0.04-0.8 ha). In this section, these will be referred to as "small plots."
