At Sky Guardian Falconry, we specialize in falconry abatement to protect sensitive species, with a focus on safeguarding Pacific Northwest salmon from predation.

Sensitive Species Protection

Serving government agencies (USACE, USFS) and tribal organizations like the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC), The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR)  and Yakama Nation, our eco-friendly raptor-based solutions ensure sustainable conservation near hatcheries, tagging sites, and critical river habitats.

Salmon are vital to the Pacific Northwest’s ecology, culture, and tribal heritage. However, pelican predation threatens salmon populations, particularly at hatchery and tagging sites along rivers like the Columbia. Our expertly trained raptors provide a natural, non-lethal solution to deter pelicans, preserving salmon runs while maintaining environmental balance.

Effective Deterrence: Raptors’ predatory presence instinctively repels pelicans, protecting salmon without harm.

Cultural Respect: Falconry aligns with tribal values, fostering sustainable salmon recovery and community engagement. 

Our falconry abatement programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of salmon conservation projects, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and respect for tribal sovereignty.

Whether at a Columbia River hatchery or a tagging site, Sky Guardian Falconry delivers results that honor ecological and cultural priorities and protect vulnerable fish populations.
