註釋Raptors such as falcons, hawks, eagles, vultures, and owls are an important part of prairie ecology, yet some of the 25 species inhabiting the Canadian prairies are declining in numbers. This booklet provides advice on how prairie landowners can help to conserve raptors by such measures as protecting woodlots, creating windbreaks, preserving nest sites, reducing use of chemicals and pesticides that threaten raptors and their prey, and preventing electrocution of raptors by electric wires. The booklet includes a chapter on building nest boxes and platforms, and a section describing the appearance and ecology of prairie and parkland raptors.
