                  <dc:description>Report submitted to: Doug Ransome, Wildlife Management Instructor, and Markus Merkens, Wildlife Biologist, Delta Farmland and Nature Trust, Ladner, BC. Prepared by: Benjamin Crook, Blair Reilly and Gord Gadsden on May 12, 2004. Objectives in this study were to monitor raptor use of our study area and to determine the habitat type each species preferred. Habitat in the study area was categorized into eight field types; tall grass, short grass, winter cover, berry crops, crop residue, corn stubble, bare field and other. Recorded are each individual raptor to species, age, sex, behavior and field it was using. This survey followed RISC road transect methodology modified slightly by adding five minute survey stations and a smaller crew size.</dc:description>
