Summary

Description

The purpose of this report is to update the progress of the bald eagle migration and movements study begun during July of 1982. The study objectives are: to determine and compare seasonal movement patterns of subadult and adult bald eagles on Kodiak Island; to identify possible emigration and immigration patterns between the Kodiak population of bald eagles and other Alaskan or North Pacific bald eagle populations; and to document local winter movements in relation to the Kodiak state airport in an effort to minimize bird strike hazards winter bald eagles have posed in that area in past years. Study methods and results and discussion are covered, and study maps and data forms are attached.
