Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Northern Spotted Owl and Barred Owl Resource grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM CA NOI 09 2006) was a Bureau of Land Management initiative under the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on field-based research and resource management for two owl species in Northern California: the northern spotted owl and the barred owl. Structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), the project aimed to generate practical, management-relevant data about habitat use, environmental conditions, and vegetation characteristics associated with areas these owls select and use.
The core work described in the announcement centered on capturing individuals of both species and fitting them with radio transmitters so they could be tracked over time. The radio-telemetry component was intended to identify where owls spend time, how they move through the landscape, and which habitat types they prefer. Once preferred habitat areas were identified through tracking, on-the-ground measurements would be taken to characterize vegetation structure and relevant environmental conditions at those locations. In addition to the tracking and habitat measurement work, the project also called for analyzing the contents of regurgitated pellets from barred owls, which is a common wildlife technique for determining diet and prey composition. Together, the telemetry, habitat sampling, and diet analysis components were designed to provide a more complete picture of how barred owls and northern spotted owls use the same landscapes and what ecological factors may be associated with their presence and behavior.
A further deliverable embedded in the description was the production and provision of GIS mapping data to support vegetation analysis. This indicates the project was expected not only to collect field observations but also to translate findings into spatial products that can be used for planning and decision-making, such as mapping vegetation conditions or linking owl location data with habitat layers. The work could be conducted on both private and public lands in Northern California, implying coordination with multiple landowners and agencies and suggesting the resulting data could inform management across a mixed-ownership landscape.
Funding was limited to a single anticipated award, with an estimated total funding amount of $125,000 and an award ceiling of $125,000 (award floor listed as $1,000). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was restricted to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, and the additional information emphasized that the recipient must be a nonprofit. The notice was posted and created on June 16, 2009, with an original and final closing date of July 10, 2009, and it was archived on July 15, 2009.

It was structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement.
What species were the focus of the project?
The project focused on two owl species in Northern California: the northern spotted owl and the barred owl.
What was the main purpose of the project?
The purpose was to generate practical, management-relevant data related to habitat use, environmental conditions, and vegetation characteristics associated with areas selected and used by northern spotted owls and barred owls.
What field methods were described in the announcement?
The core work described included capturing individuals of both owl species, fitting them with radio transmitters, and tracking them over time (radio telemetry) to identify where they spend time, how they move through the landscape, and which habitat types they prefer.
What is the role of radio telemetry in this project?
Radio telemetry was intended to locate owls over time and support identification of preferred habitat areas based on where tracked individuals spent time and moved across the landscape.
What happens after preferred habitat areas are identified through tracking?
After preferred habitat areas were identified, the project called for on-the-ground measurements to characterize vegetation structure and relevant environmental conditions at those locations.
Was diet or prey composition part of the project scope?
Yes. The project included analyzing the contents of regurgitated pellets from barred owls to help determine diet and prey composition.
How were the different work components intended to fit together?
The telemetry, habitat sampling, and barred owl pellet (diet) analysis components were designed to provide a more complete picture of how barred owls and northern spotted owls use the same landscapes and what ecological factors may be associated with their presence and behavior.
Were GIS or mapping deliverables included?
Yes. A deliverable included producing and providing GIS mapping data to support vegetation analysis. This suggests spatial products were expected to help connect owl locations and habitat/vegetation conditions for planning and decision-making.
Where would the work take place?
The work could be conducted in Northern California on both private and public lands.
Does the announcement suggest coordination with landowners or agencies?
Because the work could occur on both private and public lands, it implied coordination with multiple landowners and agencies.
