  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We recorded 19 visits by ferruginous hawks (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Buteo regalis&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) over 6 d at two black–tailed prairie dog (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Cynomys ludovicianus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;) subcolonies poisoned with the rodenticide Rozol® Prairie Dog Bait (0.005% chlorophacinone active ingredient) and at an adjacent untreated subcolony. Before Rozol® application ferruginous hawks foraged in the untreated and treated subcolonies but after Rozol® application predation by ferruginous hawks was only observed in the treated subcolonies. We suggest that ferruginous hawks' preference for hunting in the treated subcolonies after Rozol® application was influenced by the availability of easy-to-capture prey, presumably due to Rozol® poisoning. The energetically beneficial behavior of favoring substandard prey may increase raptor encounters with rodenticide exposed animals if prey vulnerability has resulted from poisoning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
