The central Oregon Kestrel box trail is one of the largest and most successful on the North American continent. Its size has increased steadily since one box fledged five young kestrels in 1998. In the interim through 2006, a cumulative total of 864 young falcons have fledged from the boxes; an average of 180 kestrels were produced in 60 active boxes in each of 2005 and 2006.

However, the program accomplishes more than just raptor conservation, as it also fulfills the objectives of research and education. To achieve the former, comprehensive nesting data is gathered by multiple nestbox visits during the breeding season and reported to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. In addition, the nestlings are banded by a licensed bander.

Banding also performs an educational role by providing an excellent opportunity for a hands-on experience for adults and youth groups, as well as box-hosting landowners.
