Sensory interference shapes habitat suitability for an acoustically specialized predator

These data were compiled to examine the impacts of landscape variables and noise levels within the most senstive areas of the northern saw-whet owl's (Aegolius acadius) hearing range. Data were collected as part of the Northwest Forest Plan Interagency Regional Monitoring program, with passive acoustic monitoring lead by the USDA Forest Service PNW Research Station Bioacoustics Lab. The bioacoustics lab randomly sampled 276 sites in Oregon, USA located on federally managed lands. These data include all files necessary for analysis. Including site and survey covariates, and a daily detection history for northern saw-whet territorial 'toot' calls at each site.
