The prairies have undergone significant changes since European settlement, leading to shifts in wildlife populations and behaviour. Once limited in number, the Great Horned Owl has adapted remarkably to human-altered landscapes and is now common across Saskatchewan. While their thriving population is a positive sign, their increased presence in remaining native grasslands has raised concerns for species-at-risk conservation efforts. This presentation will share findings from a University of Regina master’s project that combined community science with satellite tracking to study Great Horned Owl nest site selection and hunting behaviour in southern Saskatchewan. The research aims to provide scientific insights for habitat management strategies that protect vulnerable species from owl predation in sensitive native grasslands.
