We hear lots of news about golden eagle mortality by wind turbines. However, this is not the largest source of mortality in the western US. Any guesses?

Illegal shooting... Needless and disgusting! (Katzner et al. 2020, Millsap et al. 2022)

Ever wondered how biologists reach eagles' nests to get telemetry units on the nestlings? It helps to have a utility bucket truck and a wildlife biologist who is also a tree-climbing expert. This May, CSG and the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks placed telemetry units on an additional 15 bald eagle nestlings, who will add to our growing trove of data about how these birds are using the landscape across the state and beyond. #BaldEagles #RaptorResearch https://www.ksnt.com/.../watch-bald-eagle-chicks-banded.../
We are collaborating with #ParksCanada and #BernheimArboretumAndResearchForest to learn more about mate selection and territory use among golden eagles. Here you can read about Athena, who migrates between both organizations' lands each year, and how she may help us all uncover more about the habits of her species.

Love, Loss, and Raptors: New tree cameras aim to provide insight into Golden Eagle behaviour in Wapusk National Park

Learn more about research to understand the golden eagle’s breeding and nesting behaviour and its migration between Kentucky and Wapusk National Park.

Ever wonder how a forest eagle hunts? Well this is what Hawk-eagles, like the Black-and-chestnut Eagle, do! Stoop into the canopy to hunt for medium sized mammals and/or larger birds like guans! #WomeninRaptorResearch #RaptorResearch

And we totally won the game!!! #WomeninRaptorResearch #RaptorResearch
Gonna be hard to look for eagles like this… now we play the game of wait and see! #WomeninRaptorResearch #RaptorResearch #CloudForest #Colombia
The story of today!!! What happens when you do research in the Andean Cloud Forest! #WomeninRaptorResearch #RaptorResearch
To expand a lil bit about my job in research it involves climbing trees to access big eagle nests to install trail cams to study behaviors, diets, chick development, you name it! Here are a couple of pics from a Harpy Eagle and a Black-and-chestnut Eagle nests in Colombia! Both nests had fallen and were rebuilt for the new reproductive season, also notice the amount of organic material in the Harpy’s nest! #Raptorresearch #WomeninRaptorResearch #HarpyEagle #BlackandchestnutEagle #Spizaetus
Guess it’s #intro time… Im a Colombian wildlife biologist and #falconer working daily with #raptors. I work with Fundación Aguilas de los Andes researching the Black-and-chestnut Eagle (Spizaetus isidori) and with Proyecto Grandes Rapaces Colombia researching 7 other species of big raptors including the Harpy Eagle! #womeninraptoresearch #raptorresearch #womenInSTEM
