Confirmation that eagle fatalities can be reduced by automated curtailment of wind turbines

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2022
Automated curtailment is potentially a powerful technique to reduce collision mortality of wildlife with wind turbines. Previously, we used a before–after–control–impact framework to demonstrate that eagle fatalities declined after automated curtailment ...

Policy and the social burden of bald eagle recovery

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
One of the challenges of applying endangered species policy on private property is striking an equitable balance between species protection and civil liberties. The future of many imperiled species depends on a public‐private trust.

Utilization Probability Map for Migrating Bald Eagles in Northeastern North America: A Tool for Siting Wind Energy Facilities and Other Flight Hazards.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Collisions with anthropogenic structures are a significant and well documented source of mortality for avian species worldwide. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is known to be vulnerable to collision with wind turbines and federal wind energy ...

Incidental eagle carcass detection can contribute to fatality estimation at operating wind energy facilities.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Risk of birds colliding with wind turbines, especially protected species like bald eagle and golden eagle in the U.S., is a fundamental wildlife challenge the wind industry faces when developing and operating projects. The U.S.

Bald eagle population increase, reproductive success, and nesting habitat in central interior California

California Fish and Wildlife Journal
Over much of its range, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has substantially recovered from declines in the mid–late 1900s, which resulted from habitat loss, human persecution and disturbance, and contamination by the pesticide DDT.

Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range‐restricted or threatened species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the late‐20th century, golden and Bonelli's eagles suffered population declines on the Iberian Peninsula, partly due to human persecution. Habitat assessments – especially for Bonelli's eagles – always found or assumed strong associations with cliffs that provided nesting sites.

Delisting the Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf from the US Endangered Species Act: an assessment of political discourse over 20 years

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Feared, revered, and politicized, wolves have long captured human imagination, and ignited fierce conservation conflicts. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act protects species at risk of extinction from human impacts. This far‐reaching legislation, which impacts development and state‐level wildlife management, has been fraught with legal ...
