the long version

The objectives of this study are to: determine location, occupancy, activity, and productivity of breeding areas of three raptor species nesting in the primary study are of the Kevin Rim Raptor Study Area (KRRSA) and Rattlesnake Coulee; determine color band status of breeding adults of key species; and band as many nestlings of key species as possible with USGS bands and color bands in the Flats only. The three key species are ferruginous hawks (Buteo regalis), prairie falcons (Falco mexicanus), and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos).
