California spotted owl habitat

LOS OLIVOS, CA - FEBRUARY 19: Canyon live oak regrow in the Los Padres National Forest in an area burned by the Lake fire last year. The fire burned a sensitive California spotted owl habitat. The owl species is proposed for federal endangered status and many scientists believe fire is a distinct Southern California population's biggest threat. Some other scientists question whether fire poses the biggest threat, instead arguing that logging and fire suppression techniques are more problematic.
