Abstract
ID: 21
Ash Creek Preserve is a field that resides outside the borders of Western Oregon University– and is often used by students and nearby residents to go on nature walks or play disk golf. Human recreation aside, the preserve is actively used by raptors native to the Willamette Valley. These raptors have been observed using artificial 14.5ft tall, man-made T-posts that have been posted throughout the preserve. These raptors utilize these posts in many ways, though have been hypothesized to use the perches primarily for seeking prey from high above ground-level. In order to confirm or deny this hypothesis, trail cameras have been placed near six different artificial T-posts to record footage of raptor activity on each post for the duration of two weeks. Each raptor was identified and quantified by species, with the behaviors observed being quantified with an activity budget and analyzed through Microsoft Excel and R-Studio. Raw data is still in the process of being collected, though it is inferred that raptors will be primarily displaying scanning and vigilance behaviors– which was supported by a one-week trial of this observational study performed for an animal behavior course.
