Discover how raptor biologist Zoe Bonerbo is studying prairie falcons in the NCA, exploring their nesting success, foraging behavior, and the factors affecting their survival. Learn how this research helps protect one of North America’s most unique grassland predators.

Before the festivities of Raptor Fest, our Intern Annabel joined local raptor researchers Eden Ravecca and Zoe Bonerbo for a morning expedition into the Snake River Canyon for some bird watching and wildlife spotting!

Our intern Annabel headed out with the ferruginous hawk research team to learn more about the work that they are doing to improve breeding outcomes for this endangered bird of prey.
