This episode I talk with Dr. Markus Mika about Flammulated owls. Dr. Mika is an avian biologist with a background in ecology, evolution, and conservation. His doctoral research at the University of Nevada Las Vegas investigated the evolutionary history of Flammulated Owl populations ranging from southern Mexico to British Columbia using genetic markers. Before his dissertation research, he worked on his Masters focusing on Flammulated Owls in northern Utah. For the last 12 years, he has returned to Utah during the summer field season continuing long term data collection on nesting and resource fluctuations in Flammulated and Northern Saw-whet Owls collaborating with HawkWatch International. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at the University of Wisconsin La Crosse.
