چکیده
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 tree or cliff substrate as any eagle-built nest or humanmade platform. Construction normally requires about three hours and at least two people. This technique is simple, effective, physically and aesthetically unobtrusive, and free of material hassles.

Recent switch by the Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias fannini in the Pacific northwest to associative nesting with Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) to gain predator protection
The Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias fannini Chapman, 1901 in the Pacific northwest appears to have modified nesting behaviour in response to the strong recent recovery of the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus (L., 1766)) population. Previously undescribed, herons now often nest in close association with some breeding eagles, even though eagles depredate heron nestlings, are implicated in the...
متن کاملDistribution and Population Status of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in Interior Alaska
We summarize information available on natural history, numbers, distribution, and status of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in six regions of interior Alaska: Upper Yukon, Lower Yukon, Tanana, Kuskokwim, Susitna, and Upper Copper. We identified 347 nesting territories using information from local researchers, a raptor nest atlas, unpublished raptor survey reports, and our own surveys. Ne...
متن کاملRegulation 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...
متن کاملAssessing Human Disturbance of Breeding Bald Eagles with Classification Tree Models
We recorded 4,188 events of human activity and associated bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) response in the vicinity of 13 central Arizona nest sites during 1983-85. A hierarchical classification of 9 dependent and 3 independent parameters was developed to quantify pedestrian, aquatic, vehicle, noise (gunshot/sonic boom), and aircraft disturbance groups. Type and frequency of response varie...
متن کاملTime 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...
