They are found anywhere from the northern parts of the western coast to the lower part of the Canadian west coast. The Northern Spotted Owl was added to the endangered species list June 26, 1990. The species habitat is the Forest that is in the Owl's habitat that is their breeding ground. There are 100 pairs in British Columbia, Canada, 1,200 in Oregon, 500 pairs in Northern California, and 560 in the state of Washington. That human started to build big cities and started to destroy the forests that the Owl lived and breaded in for years. To save the Northern Spotted Owl all we have to do is stop extending the cities in to the forest that is home to this creature.media type="custom" key="7611015"
