13M acres of owl habitat proposed

DENVER (AP) -- More than 13 million acres in four Western states would be designated as critical habitat for the endangered Mexican spotted owl under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal released Tuesday.

The proposal includes 4.9 million acres in Arizona, 4.6 million acres in New Mexico, 3.3 million acres in Utah and 569,125 acres in Colorado. Public and tribal lands are included.

A final decision is expected in August. Public comment will be taken through Dec. 18.
