Heterotopic Ossification of the Adductor Muscles in Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) [PDF]
Diseases of the musculature can be caused, for example, by alimentary or traumatic issues. In three bald eagles with painful lameness and/or a reduced range of the hip joint, a muscular disease was diagnosed via radiographic examination.

To migrate, stay put, or wander? Varied movement strategies in bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) [PDF]
Background Quantifying individual variability in movement behavior is critical to understanding population-level patterns in animals. Here, we explore intraspecific variation in movement strategies of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in the north ...

Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Philippine Eagles (<i>Pithecophaga jefferyi</i> Ogilvie-Grant 1896) From the Greater Mindanao Faunal Region. [PDF]
Mitogenome sequencing is a promising alternative for the genetic studies of animals. In this work, we examined the genetic diversity of the critically endangered and endemic Philippine eagles and their evolutionary relationship to other birds of prey.

An aberrant bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) with multiple anatomical abnormalities
Genetic abnormalities, especially polydactyly, are quite common among birds. Although there are numerous accounts of anatomically abnormal birds with polydactyly, few written anatomical descriptions have elucidated whether or not these physical ...

Temperature-Related Changes in Avian Nestling Provisioning: A Global Analysis. [PDF]
Using a global meta‐analysis, we examined how ambient temperature influences nestling provisioning rates in birds. We synthesised effect sizes from published studies that accounted for key ecological covariates and tested whether species traits and breeding context explained differences in temperature sensitivity.

Movement Models to Predict Low-Altitude Flight of Soaring Birds Using Look-Ahead Environmental Factors. [PDF]
Eagles see ahead. Now our model does too. By modeling how eagles respond to terrain and wind conditions in their line of sight, we can predict where they'll fly in the next 3 min with 3× better accuracy than current methods—protecting eagles while maximizing energy production.
