This handsome medium-sized owl, with its unusual dark-brown eyes, relies on old-growth forests to roost, nest and forage. In Canada, the endangered northern spotted owl is found only in the southwestern corner of British Columbia. Due to ongoing logging of old-growth forests only one spotted owl remains living in the wild in Canada. Currently biologists have only been able to locate one female spotted owl residing in the Spuzzum Valley near Hope BC. About 30 spotted owls are in pens at Fort Langley in the British Columbia captive owl facility with plans to reintroduce captive raised owls back into the wild. Several thousand spotted owls are living in the forests of the west coast of the USA.
