Abstract The conservation of golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) requires a thorough understanding of their demographic parameters. Productivity, commonly measured as the number of nestlings or fledglings per pair, is the parameter reported by most studies of nesting golden eagles and is often used as a measure of their population status. Survival may be an equally or more important parameter to measure; however, survival rates of golden eagles are not well documented. We used satellite telemetry…

Survival Estimates and Cause of Mortality of Golden Eagles in South-Central Montana
TLDR
The survival probability estimates from the Golden Eagles the authors monitored were higher than reported estimates from other locations, and can assist with the development of population matrices and increase the knowledge on causes of Golden Eagle mortality.
Quantifying Sources of Mortality and Wintering Ranges of Golden Eagles from Interior Alaska Using Banding and Satellite Tracking
Abstract Documenting the year-round movements and factors affecting the survival of wide-ranging birds is essential for developing effective conservation strategies. This is especially true for…
The First Case of Successful Breeding of a Golden Eagle Aquila chrysaetos Tracked from Birth by Satellite Telemetry
Abstract. The natal dispersal of a Golden Eagle from its natal eyrie to the site where it reproduced for the first time was monitored. After covering > 16 000 km2 in its three years of juvenile…
Population ecology of golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) using remote cameras
TLDR
Pictures from installed camera traps around eagle nests in six counties in Sweden are analyzed to establish demographic parameters for the Swedish golden eagle population and estimate productivity, chick survival, fledging age and timing.
Clearcutting and the breeding productivity of golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) in Västerbotten County
The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is red-listed as near threatened in Sweden, but there are many basic ecological and demographical parameters important for successful management and conservation…
High juvenile mortality during migration in a declining population of a long-distance migratory raptor
Many populations of long-distance migrants are declining and there is increasing evidence that declines may be caused by factors operating outside the breeding season. Among the four vulture species…
Studying the demographic drivers of an increasing Imperial Eagle population to inform conservation management
Assessing whether conservation management actions are effective requires a good understanding of the demographic parameters that contribute to the population growth rate. Among the key demographic…
Quick Methods for Evaluating Survival of Age-Characterizable Long-Lived Territorial Birds
ABSTRACT Survival is a key life-history trait in animals. However, most methods of survival estimation require substantial human and economic investment in the long term, particularly in species…
Cainism, nestling management in Germany
The Lesser Spotted Eagle belongs to a species with obligatory cainism, which means that in the natural state it is rare that two young eagles fledge, although as a rule two chick’s hatch. The…
First-Year Migration and Natal Region Fidelity of Immature Ferruginous Hawks
Abstract. From 1999 to 2014 we used satellite telemetry to address knowledge gaps in the migration of juvenile Ferruginous Hawks (Buteo regalis) related to their migration independence from adults,…

Reproductive characteristics of migratory golden eagles in Denali National Park, Alaska
We describe reproductive characteristics of Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) breeding in Denali National Park, Alaska during an entire snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) cycle, 1988-1997. Data on…
Bald eagle survival and population dynamics in Alaska after the Exxon Valdez oil spill
TLDR
It is concluded that any effect of the spill on survival occurred before eagles were radiotagged and that the PWS bald eagle population has an annual finite growth rate of 2%.
First-year survival of great horned owls during a peak and decline of the snowshoe hare cycle
TLDR
It is proposed that extended parental care makes the postfledging stage safe during optimal conditions, but that the relatively slow development during this stage incurs the cost of increased susceptibility to disease and other mortality factors under environmental stress.
Encounters of Golden Eagles banded in the Rocky Mountain West
Abstract Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) were banded as nestlings, migrants, wintering birds, and resident breeders in three states of the U.S. Rocky Mountain West between June 1973 and January…

--We reviewed the literature to assess tatus and population trends and to identify mortality factors affecting Golden Eagle populations in the U.S. and Canada. Nesting populations in Alaska and…
Parental Care and Feeding Ecology of Golden Eagle Nestlings
TLDR
The division of labor between the sexes of Golden Eagles during breeding is quantified and these activities to the food consumption of nestlings are related to theories of sexual size dimorphism and parental investment.
Pre-breeding survival of barnacle geese Branta leucopsis in relation to fledgling characteristics.
TLDR
It is hypothesized that lightweight birds are more vulnerable to, for example, diseases, parasites and predation during the first months of their life, once they have survived this critical period of fledging, and the effects of characters related to low body weight at capture seem to disappear.
Mortality, morbidity, and lead poisoning of eagles in western Canada, 1986-98
TLDR
This work studied the copulation behavior of the Black-winged Kite, that, unlike raptors previously studied, may raise two broods consecutively in the same breeding season, and observed three seasonal peaks in copulation frequency.
Post-Fledging Survival in Herring Gulls in Relation to Brood-Size and Date of Hatching
TLDR
Estimation of the relation of post-fiedging mortality rates to brood-size and to the date of Herring Gull chicks of known age in New England colonies is used.
Post‐fledging survival of Sparrowhawks Accipiter nisus in relation to mass, brood size and brood composition at fledging
TLDR
Using ring recoveries, the post-fledging survival of Sparrowhawks was examined: light young survived as well as heavy ones, both in the population as a whole and in individual broods; and young in large broods survived as as young in small broods.
