Ecotoxicological Risk and Exposure: A comparative assessment Burrowing Owls in Natural and Agricultural Habitats in Southern Idaho

 Synopsis: I will be quantifying the risk of exposure of Burrowing owls to pesticides relative to their proximity to agricultural areas in the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area.  Additionally, I will be analyzing the potential harmful effects of this exposure on Burrowing owls.  Results of my study will be used in a large scale analysis of the effects of agriculture on burrowing owls.
