The purpose of this study is to provide baseline data in order to come up with management decisions pertaining to conflicts between raptors and climbers and to evaluate the possibility of reintroducing California condors and peregrine falcons to Pinnacles National Monument. No actual conflicts between raptors and climbers were observed during the study period of April 10 through June 14, 1984. Raptor species observed in the study included red-tailed hawks, golden eagles, American kestrels, prairie falcons, common barn owls, great horned owls and common ravens.
