But despite two decades of work to bring them back, their numbers are still declining. That may be due in part to a new threat – not from humans, but from other owls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might picture spotted owls in a mossy Pacific Northwest forest – but they actually live right here in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a forest near Muir Woods, Bill Merkle, a National Park Service ecologist, plays a recorded northern spotted owl call. He’s standing where a pair of owls had a nest last year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they’re just probably 50 or 60 feet up there…” says Merkle. After a moment, he hears a faint call. Merkle runs up a steep slope that’s covered in brush and poison oak. In the branches above his, he sees two spotted owls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom:1px dotted #cecece;height:20px;margin-bottom:10px\"> \u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[jwplayer config=”QUEST Audio Player” skin=”http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/themes/quest/glow.zip” file=”http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/quest/2011/05/2011-05-02-quest.mp3″ ]\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Listen to the QUEST radio story \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/audio/spotted-owls-face-new-threat\">Spotted Owls Face New Threat\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"border-bottom:1px dotted #cecece;height:20px;margin-bottom:10px\"> \u003c/div>\n\u003cp>“So this would definitely be a pair. They’re hanging out together,” says Merkle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=B08B\">Northern spotted owls\u003c/a> aren’t very big. They’re a brown owl with white spots that’s found from Washington state down to the Bay Area. They’ve also had the starring role in a decades-long battle between loggers and wildlife groups over their habitat. In many logging towns in the early 1990s, this owl was public enemy number one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merkle says in all, about 80 pairs of spotted owls are found on national park land in Marin County – and for 15 years, the park service has monitored the health of that population. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recently, Merkle says they’ve been hearing a new owl call in the forests – a \u003ca href=\"http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/barred_owl/id\">barred owl\u003c/a> call. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arrival of the Barred Owl\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The call often described as ‘who cooks for you?” says David Press, another ecologist with National Park Service. He’s joining Merkle near Muir Woods to look for the owl that makes that call – the barred owl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see anything?” says Merkle. They peer into a hollow cavity high in a tree – a cavity that used to be a spotted owl nest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just at the base of it you can see a little bit of that barred owl,” says Merkle. It’s a female barred owl, sitting on her eggs. Merkle looks concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a troubling picture for the spotted owls,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barred owls are an invasive species, originally from the Eastern US. They first arrived in spotted owl territory in Washington and have been moving south down the coast – which makes this owl the frontline of the invasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The barred owl is a little larger. It’s a little more aggressive. And so in other areas where you have barred owls set up, the spotted owls aren’t there anymore,” says Merkle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barred owls take over spotted owl territory and in some cases, even attack them. In places like western Washington, the spotted owl population has been cut in half since the barred owl showed up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Press says he’s already seeing a change in Marin. “Since the barred owls moved into the area, we’ve had a harder and harder time detecting spotted owls where they have been historically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The barred owls are really sort of adding insult to injury,” says Paul Henson of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency overseeing spotted owl recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The injury for the spotted owl was 100 years of habitat loss, and the sort of insult, the more recent insult, is barred owls have now shown up and are really out-competing spotted owls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Study to Remove Barred Owls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to deal with the issue in a new plan expected to be released in a few weeks. It includes a barred owl study that’s… raising a few eyebrows. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We identified the need to do a focused study where we could test the response of spotted owl populations to the removal of barred owls,” says Robin Bown, a biologist with Fish and Wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which means…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, basically it means permanent removal. We’re going to look at all potential opportunities but the most humane way to do it is to shoot them. A shotgun removal is extremely quick, it’s almost instantaneous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bown says they plan to eliminate barred owls from a few study plots to see if the spotted owls there do better. They also want to see if it’s even feasible to remove barred owls by shooting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, Bown says this is an idea that’s not easy to consider. “Oh it’s a very difficult thing. Even for those of us involved in this, it’s a very difficult concept to say I’m going to kill one species to try to save another species. But it’s also something that in some cases we need to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Muir Woods, Bill Merkle says a lot of people are waiting on the results of the study to see what’s next. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget cuts are also an issue. Just as more barred owls are arriving, Merkle says the park service’s owl monitoring program has been cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now the situation is getting a lot more challenging just when I think the threats are getting more apparent with the barred owls. We know climate change is going to change things out here. It is a difficult time to be cutting off our monitoring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved, the barred owl removal program would begin next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 37.89705 -122.58110\u003c/p>\n\n",

That may be due in part to a new threat – not from humans, but from other owls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might picture spotted owls in a mossy Pacific Northwest forest – but they actually live right here in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a forest near Muir Woods, Bill Merkle, a National Park Service ecologist, plays a recorded northern spotted owl call. He’s standing where a pair of owls had a nest last year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think they’re just probably 50 or 60 feet up there…” says Merkle. After a moment, he hears a faint call. Merkle runs up a steep slope that’s covered in brush and poison oak. In the branches above his, he sees two spotted owls. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’re hanging out together,” says Merkle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=B08B\">Northern spotted owls\u003c/a> aren’t very big. They’re a brown owl with white spots that’s found from Washington state down to the Bay Area. They’ve also had the starring role in a decades-long battle between loggers and wildlife groups over their habitat. In many logging towns in the early 1990s, this owl was public enemy number one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merkle says in all, about 80 pairs of spotted owls are found on national park land in Marin County – and for 15 years, the park service has monitored the health of that population. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recently, Merkle says they’ve been hearing a new owl call in the forests – a \u003ca href=\"http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/barred_owl/id\">barred owl\u003c/a> call. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Arrival of the Barred Owl\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The call often described as ‘who cooks for you?” says David Press, another ecologist with National Park Service. He’s joining Merkle near Muir Woods to look for the owl that makes that call – the barred owl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You see anything?” says Merkle. They peer into a hollow cavity high in a tree – a cavity that used to be a spotted owl nest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Just at the base of it you can see a little bit of that barred owl,” says Merkle. It’s a female barred owl, sitting on her eggs. Merkle looks concerned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a troubling picture for the spotted owls,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barred owls are an invasive species, originally from the Eastern US. They first arrived in spotted owl territory in Washington and have been moving south down the coast – which makes this owl the frontline of the invasion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The barred owl is a little larger. It’s a little more aggressive. And so in other areas where you have barred owls set up, the spotted owls aren’t there anymore,” says Merkle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barred owls take over spotted owl territory and in some cases, even attack them. In places like western Washington, the spotted owl population has been cut in half since the barred owl showed up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Press says he’s already seeing a change in Marin. “Since the barred owls moved into the area, we’ve had a harder and harder time detecting spotted owls where they have been historically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The barred owls are really sort of adding insult to injury,” says Paul Henson of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the agency overseeing spotted owl recovery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The injury for the spotted owl was 100 years of habitat loss, and the sort of insult, the more recent insult, is barred owls have now shown up and are really out-competing spotted owls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Study to Remove Barred Owls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to deal with the issue in a new plan expected to be released in a few weeks. It includes a barred owl study that’s… raising a few eyebrows. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We identified the need to do a focused study where we could test the response of spotted owl populations to the removal of barred owls,” says Robin Bown, a biologist with Fish and Wildlife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which means…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, basically it means permanent removal. We’re going to look at all potential opportunities but the most humane way to do it is to shoot them. A shotgun removal is extremely quick, it’s almost instantaneous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bown says they plan to eliminate barred owls from a few study plots to see if the spotted owls there do better. They also want to see if it’s even feasible to remove barred owls by shooting them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, Bown says this is an idea that’s not easy to consider. “Oh it’s a very difficult thing. Even for those of us involved in this, it’s a very difficult concept to say I’m going to kill one species to try to save another species. But it’s also something that in some cases we need to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in Muir Woods, Bill Merkle says a lot of people are waiting on the results of the study to see what’s next. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget cuts are also an issue. Just as more barred owls are arriving, Merkle says the park service’s owl monitoring program has been cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now the situation is getting a lot more challenging just when I think the threats are getting more apparent with the barred owls. We know climate change is going to change things out here. It is a difficult time to be cutting off our monitoring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If approved, the barred owl removal program would begin next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> 37.89705 -122.58110\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Several student teams were previewing some of their ideas; one team was tasked with designing a sustainable humidity control system for a greenhouse. Discovering that the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_beetle\">Hercules beetle\u003c/a> changes color with changes in humidity, the team conceptualized a filtration membrane that activated upon sensing changes in color. In addition, I was delighted to hear renowned biomechanist \u003ca href=\"http://fds.duke.edu/db/aas/Biology/svogel\">Dr. Steven Vogel\u003c/a> of Duke University give a presentation on his previous work. His talk inspired students to consider designing passive \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC\">HVAC systems\u003c/a> based on his observations of limpets, sand dollars, fish nostrils, rhododendrons, desert spiders and many other examples. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The course is sponsored by \u003ca href=\"http://www.qualcomm.com/qmt/\">Qualcomm’s MEMS Technology Unit\u003c/a> and is a joint effort of the \u003ca href=\"http://cnr.berkeley.edu/site/index.php\">College of Natural Resources\u003c/a>, and the \u003ca href=\"http://ls.berkeley.edu/\">College of Letters & Science\u003c/a>.

They have learned that the limestone formed in tropical seas, far from land, as the calcium carbonate shells of microorganisms rained onto the seafloor from highly productive surface waters. The waters were shallow for an ocean basin, which means that the limestone formed on a sunken volcanic plateau or ridge rather than the flat deep seafloor. The typical limestone of the Midwest is very different, having formed in huge sheets in very shallow waters when the sea was much higher than today. In geo-speak, they are epicontinental whereas the Calera is pelagic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Calera Limestone plateau was carried by plate-tectonic motion from the tropical Pacific and plastered onto North America, where it remained without being pulled downward by subduction. The Calera is in pieces today not because it was torn apart during subduction, but because it formed in separate basins on a volcanic plateau and was torn apart much later by the San Andreas fault. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upshot is that this limestone carries a precious record of conditions in the shallow Cretaceous tropical Pacific, a place and time for which we have little other evidence because subduction has removed the deep seafloor rocks. Those dark streaks in the limestone, rich in organic matter, record periods when the world ocean went stagnant and dead. They match well with similar rocks from other ocean basins, enabling us to place a signpost in time from a world now lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/04/caleraclass.jpg\" alt=\"calera limestone\">\u003cbr>\n\u003csub>\u003cem>Students and professional groups visit the Permanente Quarry for open-air lessons.

Studies of microfossils date the Calera at 88 to 105 million years old, in the middle of the long Cretaceous Period. Parts of the limestone are quite dark, thanks to a few percent of organic matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/04/calerabeds.jpg\" alt=\"limestone bedding\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Calera Limestone is not a big, thick bed of stone; rather, it's one ingredient in the disjointed Franciscan Complex that I described at \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2011/03/24/geological-outings-around-the-bay-shell-beach/\">Shell Beach\u003c/a>. It's found in pods, lenses and stringers along the San Andreas fault between Pacifica and Gilroy in a group of Franciscan rocks called the Permanente terrane. Indeed, more of this terrane occurs at Parkfield, some 350 kilometers south of here. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fault motion over the last 25 million years or so has carried this limestone north to the ocean's edge today, one earthquake at a time. You can see signs of the disruption in the rocks of Rockaway Quarry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/04/calerabrec.jpg\" alt=\"brecciation\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The natural process that shattered and recemented this rock is called brecciation. If you see a rock like this, with jagged pieces in a finer groundmass, you may call it breccia (BRET-cha).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/04/caleraslick.jpg\" alt=\"slickenside\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another sign of disruption is this slickenside, the polished surface made by faulting. It's not often found in limestone, but the Rockaway Quarry has good examples.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another body of Calera Limestone crops out west of Cupertino, where Henry Kaiser began his entry into the concrete business in 1939 with a quarry. Whereas the Rockaway Quarry produced mainly crushed rock, the Permanente Quarry (now the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lehighpermanente.com/#/henry-kaiser/4537948194\">Lehigh Permanente Quarry\u003c/a>) processes high-quality limestone into portland cement. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/2008/04/04/cement-a-dirty-business/\">QUEST featured this quarry in 2008\u003c/a>, including this picture of the excavation. It supplies about half of the Bay Area's cement today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/04/calerapermanente.jpg\" alt=\"permanente quarry\">\u003cbr>\n\u003csub>\u003ci>Photo courtesy \u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/people/kqedquest/\">KQED QUEST\u003c/a> under Creative Commons license\u003c/i>\u003c/sub>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Geologists have studied the Calera Limestone for many years, taking advantage of the excellent exposures in the quarry. They have learned that the limestone formed in tropical seas, far from land, as the calcium carbonate shells of microorganisms rained onto the seafloor from highly productive surface waters. The waters were shallow for an ocean basin, which means that the limestone formed on a sunken volcanic plateau or ridge rather than the flat deep seafloor. The typical limestone of the Midwest is very different, having formed in huge sheets in very shallow waters when the sea was much higher than today. In geo-speak, they are epicontinental whereas the Calera is pelagic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Calera Limestone plateau was carried by plate-tectonic motion from the tropical Pacific and plastered onto North America, where it remained without being pulled downward by subduction. The Calera is in pieces today not because it was torn apart during subduction, but because it formed in separate basins on a volcanic plateau and was torn apart much later by the San Andreas fault. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The upshot is that this limestone carries a precious record of conditions in the shallow Cretaceous tropical Pacific, a place and time for which we have little other evidence because subduction has removed the deep seafloor rocks. Those dark streaks in the limestone, rich in organic matter, record periods when the world ocean went stagnant and dead. They match well with similar rocks from other ocean basins, enabling us to place a signpost in time from a world now lost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/quest/wp-content/uploads/sites/39/2011/04/caleraclass.jpg\" alt=\"calera limestone\">\u003cbr>\n\u003csub>\u003cem>Students and professional groups visit the Permanente Quarry for open-air lessons.
