Data Source: Terry McEneaney, YELL Ornithologist
A dead owl was found in the Albright Visitor Center parking lot, however this does not confirm the species in the park since many times birds get hit and caught in the grill of vehicles elsewhere. We need better evidence to confirm its presence; Data Source: Lisa Baril - YNP ornithologist.
