The northern spotted owl is becoming extinct due to the cutting down of old­growth trees in Washington and other areas. Over 90% of old­growth trees have been lost to logging. This is making it harder for the Northern Spotted Owl to live in it’s natural habitat. The northern spotted owl populations have dropped down to 40­60% in the last 10 years. Northern spotted owls are nocturnal which means they sleep during the day and hunt at night. They are medium sized raptors that live in the old growth
