Most species—with the exception of northern harrier ( Circus cyaneus )—showed an increasing trend toward more frequent detections during fires than prior to ignitions, but only Swainson's Hawk ( Buteo swansoni, n = 346) showed a significant increase in during‐fire compared to before‐fire counts (Figure 2 ). 4 DISCUSSION Fire is an important ecological process that shaped and maintained most terrestrial ecosystems worldwide (Bond & Keeley, 2005 ).
