Resumen:
We developed an innovative method for finding individuals of a conspicuousspecies in complex urban habitats. The aim of this study was to detect as many burrowingowl nests as possible in order to develop an ecological and behavioral study. We performedan online survey through the social network, Facebook. The results of this survey allowedus to detect and locate 36 new burrowing owl nests. We conclude that developing onlinesurveys through social networks is an innovative and cost-effective method to obtaininformation about bird locations, and can complement traditional methods such as fieldsurveys.
