Steep escarpments and rocky cliffs associated with large, dry grasslands or sagebrush steppes are characteristic of its breeding habitat. Nest sites are often near water. Ground surveys made during the 1995 breeding season (May through July), suggest that at least three pairs of Prairie Falcons currently breed in the region.

Management recommendations for this species include monitoring, and, if necessary, restricting human activity around nest sites, implementing education programs for private landowners, and monitoring the use of agricultural pesticides, the rate o
