Description
Drazenko Rajkovic and co-authors followed tawny owls in Serbia in two thousand twenty-four. The owls stay year-round but shift habits outside the breeding season. Little was known about their winter ranges in managed landscapes. The team fitted satellite trackers to seven male owls. Tracking covered the autumn and winter of one year.
The owls varied widely in the size of their core and home areas. Older and heavier males used smaller ranges than young, light ones. Ranges of neighboring males barely overlapped. The team also mapped roost sites and favored habitats. Farm and forest mosaics shaped where owls chose to hunt. Such maps help planners protect hunting grounds and roosts. They also show how land use affects a common predator.
