Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Western Golden Eagle Team is funding research to provide scientifically defensible spatial products and conservation strategies to support conservation and management efforts of Golden Eagles. The highest priority is to develop species distributional models at the scale of CEC Level III Ecoregions during all parts of the golden eagleâ¿¿s annual cycle, for which the breeding season is of particular importance. Also of high priority is the need to evaluate the spatial distribution of a variety of potential risks to golden eagles to identify where risks can be most efficiently avoided. The Western Golden Eagle Team proposes to partner with scientists at Humboldt State University (HSU) to develop predictive models of Golden Eagle breeding habitat in the western United States, and to evaluate the ability of these models to support estimation of population distribution and abundance.
