The nesting chronology and success of 12 northern bald eagles on the Alaska Peninsula is recorded. Thirty six observations of eagles' fishing activities were observed, four of which were successful and are related in detail. Eagles were observed feeding on dead or dying fish and mammals on nineteen occasions, two of which are described. Remains of prey found in and around the base of six bald eagle nests are listed. |
