Loss of habitat was the main central reason for its decline, however, now it is being replaced in some areas by the closely related barred owl.
Spotted Owls are known for their unique spotted plumage, dark eyes, and lack of ear tufts. They are nocturnal birds that prefer old-growth forests as their habitat and are known for their hooting calls that can be heard at night. Spotted Owls are also known to be monogamous and form strong pair bonds.

birds small mamals and some reptiles would go up and numbers causing less other types of owls to starve, meaning more sucses for other owls species.
nuthatches, owls, parrots, woodpeckers are some examples
All owls are carnivores. Also, spotted owls are not limited to living in old-growth forests, as some environmentalists would have you believe. They may LIKE the forest better, but I have a nice color photo of a northern owl actively nesting in a Burger King sign at a store in northern Idaho.
what are some names of owls
Spotted owls are primarily found in old-growth forests in western North America, with populations extending from British Columbia in Canada down to northern Mexico. They prefer dense, mature forests that provide suitable habitat for hunting prey and nesting. Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, their populations have declined, leading to conservation efforts to protect their remaining habitats.
Preserve dense forests where it occurs. Although able to survive in cutover forests, this habitat is more suited to a very close relative, the barred owl. The barred owl is pushing the spotted owl out of these areas, and only the preservation of the great forests can help the spotted owl. Barred owls rarely frequent deep, dense woods.
Some possible events that could affect the populations are hunting, natural disasters or humans taking over their territory and causing them to move to a different habitat or make them homeless
The Spotted Cuscus is thriving. It's not endangered. It has almost no predators, and it can adapt well. Humans are inhabiting parts of its habitat, and some hunt it, but this will not endanger it anytime in the near future.
Some larger owls have been known to eat smaller owls. And in some owl species, older siblings will sometimes eat younger, smaller siblings.
Owls search for their food in many different ways, depending on where the owl lives. Usually owls though having very good eyesight, hunt by sound. Some owls hunt in woodland, some owls in marshland, some owls hunt in snow.
