Predator activity and nest success of willow flycatchers and yellow warblers
Article Abstract:
Research on bird populations and predation risk in California's Sierra Nevada region shows that the negative effects of forest-edge predators may be mitigated by flooding meadow areas used by predators to gain access to nests. Yellow warbler and willow flycatcher survival rates are used as illustration.

Burrowing owl mortality in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area
Article Abstract:
Turbine-caused mortality of burrowing owls is increasing in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area (APWRA) has led to a study comparing human-caused mortality to the predicted habitat capacity of owls in the APWRA, and a suggestion mitigating measures to reduce turbine-caused owl fatalities.

Behavior of red-tailed hawks in a wind turbine development
Article Abstract:
Flight behavior in relation to characteristics of the topography and in relation to various weather variables including wind speed and wind direction are recorded. It was found that red-tailed hawk behavior and their use of slope aspect differed according to wind speed.
