The Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (NCA) has undergone massive habitat changes since 1980. Occupancy and productivity data have been collected at all eagle territories in the NCA since 1971, providing a wealth of background information. This issue overview continues the long-term assessments of territory occupancy and reproduction of golden eagles in the NCA. These assessments will provide the basis for long-term research to evaluate the effectiveness of vegetation rehabilitation efforts in restoring golden eagle habitat and to understand the mechanisms for responses of nesting eagles to wildfires and other habitat alteration. The overall goal of the research is to obtain information necessary for the BLM to implement the management plan for the NCA and for making management decisions. This resource contains related publications and progress reports since 2001.
