Description
BLM Utah is looking to enter into a partnership with a recipient to obtain valuable data regarding raptor use in areas that are of high value to potential future development through documentation of current nest status on old nest data, gain new nest locations and identify high raptor use areas. Information from this partnership would be used by the BLM to make informed management decisions. The project would focus on re-locating old raptor nests and identifying new nest locations. Information obtained through this project would provide valuable information to inform BLM decisions and siting of infrastructure related projects. The BLM would gain valuable data regarding raptor use in areas that are of high value to potential future development for oil and gas, solar, wind, geothermal energy resources, transmission, as well as recreation. Information obtained from this study would allow the BLM to obtain current nest status on old nest data, gain new nest locations, and continue to build upon the information in the GIS database. This project is not a requirement of BLM; however, information obtained from this continued effort will establish trend as well as continue to provide baseline information on raptor nests within areas throughout the state that are used in BLM management level decisions. BLM would request that all project data be provided including raptor nest/eeyrie monitoring data forms, nest location forms, including a digital library of nest photos, Field Office area notebooks that provide raptor nest forms and detailed monitoring information for each nest location and activity reports, USGS 7.5â¿¿ maps, and GIS data. BLM would also request all data be input into an established database.
