Abstract
Establishment of buffer zones around raptor nest sites has become an important management tool in areas undergoing energy development or increasing recreational pressure. We conducted a survey of field researchers who had distributed Golden Eagle, Ferruginous Hawk, and Prairie Falcon during their research. Bases for and limitations of the use of buffer zones to protect nesting raptors are discussed.
