Abstract: A survey of raptors was conducted by car over a 187 km route in southeastern Idaho during the non-nesting seasons from November 1974 to May 1976. Rough-legged hawks were the most numerous observed, followed by American kestrels and golden eagles. Perched raptors were commonly seen on power poles: 75.1 percent of rough-legged hawks, 94 percent of prairie falcons, 80.4 percent of American kestrels, and 73.7 percent of golden eagles. American kestrels preferred pole tops or wires; most golden eagles preferred the tops and crossarms.
