Raptors in Human Landscapes

This book is dedicated to the memory of Richard "Butch" Olendorff (1943—

1994) whose neverending optimism and amazing foresight allowed him to

conceive the theme of this book over twenty years ago when he wrote these

words in his now classic work on raptors, Golden Eagle Country:

"... birds of prey are exploiting the potential of living in concert with men.

Given half a chance, they will even breed in spite of us."
