RECOMMENDED BUFFER ZONES AND SEASONAL RESTRICTIONS
BALD EAGLE
Nest Site:
No surface occupancy (beyond that which historically occurred in the area; see `Definitions' below)
within '/4 mile radius of active nests (see `Definitions' below). Seasonal restriction to human
encroachment(see `Definitions' below)within '/2 mile radius of active nests from October 15 through
July 31. This closure is more extensive than the National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines (USFWS
2007) due to the generally open habitat used by Colorado's nesting bald eagles.
Winter Night Roost:
No human encroachment from November 15 through March 15 within '/4 mile radius of an active
winter night roost(see `Definitions' below) if there is no direct line of sight between the roost and the
encroachment activities. No human encroachment from November 15 through March 15 within '/2
mile radius of an active winter night roost if there is a direct line of sight between the roost and the
encroachment activities. If periodic visits (such as oil well maintenance work) are required within the
buffer zone after development, activity should be restricted to the period between 1000 and 1400 hours
from November 15 to March 15.
Hunting Perch:
Diurnal hunting perches (see `Definitions' below) associated with important foraging areas should also
be protected from human encroachment. Preferred perches may be at varying distances from human
encroachment and buffer areas will vary. Consult the Colorado Division of Wildlife for
recommendations for specific hunting perches.
GOLDEN EAGLE
Nest Site:
No surface occupancy (beyond that which historically occurred in the area)within '/4 mile radius of
active nests. Seasonal restriction to human encroachment within '/2 mile radius of active nests from
December 15 through July 15.
OSPREY
Nest Site:
No surface occupancy (beyond that which historically occurred in the area)within '/4 mile radius of
active nests. Seasonal restriction to human encroachment within '/4 mile radius of active nests from
April 1 through August 31. Some osprey populations have habituated and are tolerant to human
activity in the immediate vicinity of their nests.
FERRUGINOUS HAWK
Nest Site:
No surface occupancy (beyond that which historically occurred in the area)within '/2 mile radius of
active nests. Seasonal restriction to human encroachment within '/2 mile radius of active nests from
February 1 through July 15. This species is especially prone to nest abandonment during incubation if
disturbed.
RED-TAILED HAWK
Nest Site:
No surface occupancy (beyond that which historically occurred in the area)within 1/3 mile radius of
active nests. Seasonal restriction to human encroachment within 1/3 mile radius of active nests from
February 15 through July 15. Some members of this species have adapted to urbanization and may
