Powerful Owl in Williamstown

[Fiona Hogan <>]

Hi All

If anyone happens to find a dropped feather whilst looking for the
Powerful Owls in Williamstown or from any other Powerful Owl, I
would  really appreciated a sample from it.  I am doing a three
year study (PhD) looking at Powerful Owl genetics, I have attached a
description of my project below.

Powerful Owl
Study

We are conducting a
study on the genetic variability of
the Powerful
Owl
across its entire
range, which includes Victoria, New South Wales and Southern Queensland.
This information is critically important in building our understanding of
these amazing birds.

We require as many
Powerful
Owl samples as possible
with known locations to ensure the success of the study.

Samples such as feathers found on the ground, road kills and injured
birds all provide valuable information.

If you have any information about the location of live
Powerful
Owls,
Barking Owls and
Boobook
Owls
and/or samples from any
of these species such as feathers or tissue, injured birds or road kills
please contact us.
