There are few reports of helminths from the American Bald Eagle, Heliaeetus leucocephalus, perhaps because of the general decline in numbers and intensified protection of this avian species in recent years. Schiller (1952, J. Mammal. 33: 38-49) reported an undetermined species of Corynosoma from bald eagles in Alaska. Smith (1978, J. Wildl. Dis.

Poleward Range Shifts of Breeding Birds in Wisconsin. [PDF]
Anthropogenic climate change has been documented to cause poleward range shifts in birds. This paper uses Wisconsin's two Breeding Bird Atlases to determine climate change's impact on the ranges of birds in the state. We found that warm‐adapted birds in the state were expanding northward.

Predator activity, proactive anti-predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction. [PDF]
We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

PARASITES OF THE BALD EAGLE (HALIAEETUS LEUCOCEPHALUS) OF NORTH AMERICA [PDF]
Information concerning parasites of the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in North America is relatively sparse. Since the bald eagle in parts of the United States is an endangered species, collection of eagles for parasito!ogical study is difficult.

Population impact to bald eagles by ingested lead in New York State, 1990–2018
While the recent population recovery of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in New York State, USA, is a conservation success, evidence from necropsies suggest that ingested lead (Pb) from ammunition fragments is causing morbidity and mortality to ...
