Abstract
A fixed-route car survey was conducted from October to February 1979-80 on a 103- km strip of predominantly rangeland east of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Comparison of these data with past relative density data from 1962-1979 shows fairly steady numbers for 7 of the 8 species. Rough-legged Hawks showed a slight decline. Most raptors were seen perched on REA poles. Cropland was used most by all species considering its availability to the area.
