--At he beginning of the 20th century, the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) was close to extinction in many parts of the European Alps. At the end of the century, the population has stabilized at around 1100 breeding pairs. To maintain the population, management strategies have been derived from models of habitat quality and distribution within the eagle's entire alpine range. These models were...

A limited study on two ranches near Dillon, Montana, near the end of the lambing season in 1974 revealed that 44 domestic lambs were killed by golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos). This was 76 percent of all deaths recorded during the short study. Using an average docking percent of 90 (based on years before severe eagle problems developed), the 76 percent eagle predation, and the 1974 docking per...

Competition among species with similar ecological requirements may preclude species coexistence. However, species with similar requirements may coexist under determinate environmental conditions. Major effort is being dedicated to conserve the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) and Bonelli’s eagle (Hieraaetus fasciatus) in Spain, two raptors with similar ecological requirements. This work analyse...

-Cackling Geese (Brunta canadensis minima) were preyed on heavily in northeastern California by Golden Eagles (Aquila chysaetos) and less commonly by Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus Zeucocephalus) in 19851990. Eagle predation on Cackling Geese was minimal in other wintering locations in California. In the Klamath Basin, eagles killed Cackling Geese most frequently soon (<IO days) after the geese arrive...
