This report summarizes the results of the past four winter surveys (2012-2015), consisting of roadside census and banding activities conducted in four of the nine primary, known concentration areas in Utah and Nevada, with supplementary information derived from two other areas in two states. GIS maps of three of the higher counts are included in the summary.
A tewelve-year census (2003-2015) of major wintering areas – originally planned as a ten-year census with Dr. Jeff Smith, then of HawkWatch International – is now complete, and this report also represents a summary of the project’s past 30 years.
