The first sighting of the Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis) at Zion National Park was on 9 November 1963 (Wauer and Carter 1965). Although a pair was closely observed by Theron Twogood on 29 August of the following year, there were no more reports of this uncommon western owl for several years. Then, between 1974 and 1976, employees at Zion carefully identified this species at six different locations. In 1974 a total of six Spotted Owls was observed at three locations. In 1975 one of the 1974 sites was found inactive but a new one was discovered; a total of five owls was at three locations. In 1976 two new locations were found and, although two previously active sites were not investigated, five owls were seen at four locations. In light of the scarcity of information on the Spotted Owl in Utah (Behle and Perry 1975), these sightings are certainly heartening.
