Bald Eagle Harries Nesting Canada Geese

A Review of Modern Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Nesting Records and Breeding Status in Nebraska

Constructing Bald Eagle Nests With Natural Materials

Southwest Plains (JSDA Forest Service Research Note RM-RN-535 May 1995 Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station Constructing Bald Eagle Nests With Natural Materials Teryl G. Grubb1 A technique for using natural materials to build artificial nests for bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and other raptors is detailed. Properly constructed nests are as permanently secured to the nest ...

Time Budgets and Behavior of Nesting Bald

Time budgets for adult Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) activities at nests were documented from mid-incubation to fledging at one nest and from hatching into the postfledging period at two nests. Time-lapse cameras recorded instantaneous samples of activity at 90 second intervals. Both sexes incubated eggs and brooded young. Eggs were incubated for 95% of daylight hours, with the female a...

Carnivorous Canada Geese

—Geese are normally herbivorous. I report an instance of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) feeding on alkali flies (Ephydra hians) at hypersaline Mono Lake, California. The bout was brief and possibly represented exploratory behavior by inexperienced birds. Received 22 December 2003, accepted

Regulation of Bald Eagle Reproductive Rates in Southeast Alaska

I examined the influence of food abundance and habitat quality on reproduction of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in the Chilkat Valley, Alaska. The proportion of active nests was greatest and the timing of laying earliest in portions of the study area where food was most abundant. Clutch size was not related to food availability. Offspring survival was higher in breeding areas where foo...
