Abstract
Bald eagle (H. leucocephalus) productivity surveys were conducted annually from 1972-1981 in Seymour Canal, southeastern Alaska. The 90 km of coastline supported .apprx. 90 nests. During late June, the 29% productive nests contained 1.56 eggs or downy young per nest. Productivity dropped to 19% in 1979 and 1980 and 23% in 1981. Nest loss due to natural causes averaged 5% per year.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
