The Cedar City Field Office is offering a grant for a Renewable Energy Raptor Monitoring Project that aims to gather data on raptor species in high suitability areas for future renewable energy development. This study will relocate old raptor nests, identify new nest locations, winter concentration areas, and seasonal flight zones for bald eagles, golden eagles, ferruginous hawks, and peregrine falcons. The valuable information obtained will assist potential developers in understanding raptor use in these areas and provide a baseline for future renewable energy projects. Closing date for applications is Aug 12, 2011.

| Description:: | The objective of this study is to implement a pre-development raptor monitoring program within high suitability areas for future wind, solar, and geothermal development. This project will focus on re-locating old raptor nests, identifying new nest locations, winter concentration areas, and identifying seasonal flight zones and raptor use areas. Information obtained through this project will provide valuable information to potential developers regarding raptor species use of an area particularly bald eagle, golden eagle, ferruginous hawk, and peregrine falcon. The Cedar City Field Office will gain valuable data regarding raptor use in areas that are of high value to potential future development for solar, wind, and geothermal energy resources. This information could be presented to potential renewable energy developers as a baseline for raptor use. |
