Scott Rashid has lived in Estes Park for more than 30 years and is Director of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute (CARRI). His first book, Small Mountain Owls, describes the natural history of Northern Pygmy, Northern Saw-whet, Flammulated, and Boreal Owls that nest and live in and around Rocky Mountain National Park. Scott has worked with and rehabilitated these owls as well as documented habitat, nests, courtship behavior and feeding and growth of the young. Scott and CARRI researchers also trap and band small mountain owls to document and learn about the owls’ travels.
