Relative Detectability: Difficult to spot and to confirm nesting due to inaccessibility of its nests and its habit of foraging at high altitude over a wide area.

Challenge: Survey cliffs and rimrock for additional locations in eastern Oregon. Also check Table Rock and similar cliffs in Jackson County.
