I include a link to the Raptor Pilot Study for Levee Protection. The Ventura County Watershed Protection District (WPD) completed the study to see if raptors such as hawks and owls can reduce ground squirrels around dams and levees. You can read about the success of the findings below.

We built two perches and put them up on 3/8/2020.

We followed the "Raptor Perch Design in the "Instructions" section. The difference is we are not using a galvanized steel coating on our poles. We also painted the poles so they would not rust. I'll keep you posted on what we are experiencing with our poles!
