Document Description
There are two objectives to this proposed project. The first is to assess food availability for nesting golden eagles in the Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP), especially on populations near solar energy zones. This information will be used to develop models of prey (black-tailed jackrabbits) availability and abundance, and to determine how these vary by natural cycles of available forage and predation. These models will be used to link food availability to nesting success. The second objective is to develop a protocol for monitoring golden eagle populations in the DRECP and estimating population density and trends. This effort will include compiling existing data on DRECP golden eagles to estimate population size, density, and trends for golden eagles in the DRECP.
