| Since 2011, Annual Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) surveys have been conducted on the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). NTTR is a closed and access restricted active military test and training range approximately 3.0 million acres in size. NTTR is composed of Mohave desert habitat (South Range) and Great Basin habitat (North Range).The purpose of these surveys were to locate all known and potential nests, nesting activity and annual production of golden eagles. Due to access and equipment restrictions, it was necessary to implement unique survey techniques. Survey techniques, nesting data collected, nest productivity and recommendations will be presented. |
