Summary
Abstract:
The unique characteristics of the Snake River Canyon and the
adjoining upland desert south of Boise, Idaho, have been recognized since the 1940s (Olendorff and Kochert 1977). An area associated with a 130-km stretch of canyon supports one of the highest densities of non-colonial nesting raptors in the world (U.S. Dep. Inter. 1979, Olendorff et al, 1989). This area also contains exceptionally high ...  Purpose: The overall goal of the BLM/IDARNG Research Project was to obtain information critical for preserving and managing raptors, their prey, and habitat in the NCA. Specifically, research results would be used to: 1) provide information for an analysis of the effects of military training in the NCA that will meet National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements; 2) contribute information about ...

potential impacts of military training, fire, livestock grazing, and other activities on the NCA's habitats, prey, and raptors could not be fully addressed during the 5-year research period. For some issues, background data were inadequate to permit appropriate research design, and for others the project ...
