Ep. #18: To Kill an Owl; Ethics, Ecology, and Extinction

In this episode of The Real Birding Podcast, Caleb and Will tackle one of the most controversial conservation decisions in recent memory: the planned killing of over 500,000 barred owls in an effort to save the critically threatened Northern Spotted Owl.With tensions running high between ecological ethics and urgent conservation needs, we weigh the pros and cons of this drastic measure. We take a deep dive into the natural history of both the barred and northern spotted owls, exploring how one species’ expansion across the continent has brought it into direct conflict with another’s survival.Whether you’re a birder, conservationist, or simply someone who cares about the natural world, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.Thanks to Dr. David Wiens for his research and presentation which we used to research much of this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Y-ZmtPiJE
