Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a hang glider crashes into the pool of the house where Dinah and Madge are house-sitting, the hapless pilot creates more than a splash of suspicion in Dinah’s mind. Why does this itchy intruder make off with Dinah’s inflatable turtle? Why is someone trying to drive their cat-mad neighbor away? And what is the connection with the balding stranger seen lurking behind the hedge? And when Madge’s boyfriend starts a campaign to save the endangered spotted owl, it seems that a crooked politician may be out to destroy the habitat of the near-extinct animal. While Madge paints, Dinah brushes aside suggestions that she be a quiet, well-behaved guest in this posh North Vancouver neighborhood. There’s just too much for Dinah and her friends, tree-fanatic Pantelli and irritatingly conscientious Talbot, to investigate in this hilariously suspenseful adventure. Along with learning about endangered animals and fragile ecosystems, Dinah runs across clueless reporters and greedy developers, all the while continuing to belt out her favorite songs and satisfy her healthy appetite.

Download or read book Ecology of the Spotted Owl in the Central Sierra Nevada California written by Stephen A. Laymon and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the ecology of the spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) was conducted on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, California from June 1982 to January 1985. Nine juvenile and 12 adult spotted owls were captured and fitted with radio transmitters. Tests of survey techniques showed an average response rate of 25% to nocturnal call surveys. Males responded more frequently than females and non-breeding owls responded more frequently than breeding owls. Reproductive success was low, with only 5 of 50 pairings producing young. Juvenile survival prior to dispersal (n = 12), was also low (33%). These results predict a rapidly declining population if not supplemented by immigration. Home ranges were determined by the minimum convex polygon method. The median summer-fall home range size for an individual spotted owl was 1210 ha (2988 acres); the median summer-fall home range size for a pair was 1660 ha (4100 acres). In November, the owls migrated downslope from mixed conifer forest above 1300 m (4265 feet) to oak-pine woodlands below 1300 m. Despite occupancy of the study area by spotted owls the site is believed to be marginal habitat based on the poor reproductive success and high mortality rates observed during the study. -- Adapted from abstract.
