Ferruginous Hawk Artificial Nesting Platform relocation in the Experimental Proving Grounds at CFB Suffield

The Department of National Defence (DND) has proposed a project. Located within the Experimental Proving Grounds at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Suffield, Ferruginous Hawks (FEHA) have established a nest on an unused camera tower, requiring relocation away from a trial site danger template, and high-risk utility pole.

A permanent Artificial Nesting Platform (ANP) will be installed approximately 700m North-Northeast, a distance that will allow for maximum setback distances from oil and gas infrastructure, roadways, the high-risk utility pole, and the Defence Research trial site.

To effectively have the FEHA nest on the permanently installed ANP, the camera tower will be mounted on a trailer and moved incrementally approximately 100m per year towards it.
