Starcevich LH. 2013. Trend Analysis for National Park Service Prairie Falcon Data from 1989 to 2013
Annual prairie falcon monitoring at Pinnacles National Park (PINN) has been conducted annually for over 25 years. Prairie falcon surveys have been conducted most consistently since 1989, and the data collected from 1989 through 2013 are analyzed here. Trends in occupancy, productivity, and phenology are estimated and tested to determine if the prairie falcon population has changed significantly during the past 25 years.
