. Avifauna <br />Species of birds that occur or are likely to occur in the permit area and the habitat where the <br />species is likely to occur are listed in Table 11, Wildlife Species That Occur Or Are Likely <br />To Occur In The Colowyo Permit Area. All species that were observed during field surveys <br />are noted on the list. <br />Rotors <br />Surveys were conducted by VTN personnel during baseline data collection in 1974-1977, and <br />again by Colowyo personnel during the spring and summer of 1980. The most common <br />raptors observed on the permit area from 1974 to the present include Red-tail Hawks, Marsh <br />Hawks, American Kestrels, Great Homed Owls, Golden Eagles, Prairie Falcons, and Turkey <br />Vultures, all of which represent year-round residents with the exception of the turkey vulture. <br />Other raptors that have been observed include the Swainson's Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Rough <br />Legged Hawk, and Perigrine Falcon. <br />Raptor nests located during field surveys are recorded on the Wildlife Observations Map <br />(Map 15). Red-trailed hawks are known to have nested on the northern side of the Streeter <br />Draw lease in 1975 and 1978. A pair of Red-tailed Hawks nested on a power pole in Taylor <br />Creek in 1980. One Fledgling was observed. A pair of Cooper's Hawks has been observed at <br />a possible nesting site during 1979 and 1980. The location of two Golden Eagle nesting <br />complexes were obtained from the CDOW. The nests are located on sandstone cliffs adjacent <br />• to State Highway #13 as shown on the Wildlife Observations Map (Map 15). <br />u <br />2.04.1 I -26 <br />
