| The CA/NV Golden Eagle Working Group (GEWG) was established in 2011 to provide a forum for state and federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, researchers, landowners, and other interested parties to discuss and coordinate activities surrounding Golden Eagle inventory, monitoring, research, and conservation efforts. The GEWG Data Management Subgroup was initiated based on the need for comprehensive data on Golden Eagles in California and Nevada. Over the last two years this subgroup along with California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Biogeographic Data Branch staff and USFWS staff have led an effort to develop the Golden Eagle Observations Database. This species-specific database houses all types of observations, including nesting, foraging, and roosting data. Currently the database contains over 3,900 records. CDFW and USFWS staff continue to compile data with the goal of creating the most robust database and determining where data gaps may occur. To help meet this goal, we are asking individuals with Golden Eagle data to submit records to CDFW. For data submissions, the Golden Eagle Database Submission Template can be accessed online from the CDFW website. Alternatively, Golden Eagle data can be submitted using the CNDDB Online Field Survey Form, also available online via the CDFW website. |
