I didn't know if this would reach CayugaBirds. I thought it would be of interest to many. Gary
From: hawkc...@yahoogroups.com [mailto:hawkc...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Salo Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 10:33 AM To: hawkc...@yahoogroups.com Subject: [hawkcast] Golden Eagle efforts In my last message to this list, I mentioned two Golden Eagle research efforts organized and staffed by DOAS members and volunteers from Franklin Mountain: the camera traps, and the spring eagle counts east of Otsego Lake. After taking thousands of photos, the camera traps have been pulled for the season. We recorded at least 3 Golden and 4 Bald Eagles. Many other scavengers visited the sites including multiple Common Ravens, as many as 50 ravens at 1 site, multiple Red-tailed Hawks at every site, Rough-legged Hawks, American Crows, coyotes and foxes. We plan to repeat this effort next winter and will present a slide show of the best photos at a DOAS program. To see some sample photos from the camera traps go to: http://www.doas.us/ge_study_site_photos.html The week of counting eagles and other raptors in eastern Otsego County concluded on March 13. 46 Golden Eagles were recorded in the 10 mile wide transect along with 22 Bald Eagles. 73 eagles were seen moving north during the 7 day organized count. Several were unidentified eagles. Volunteers have continued to count at Davis State Park where the GE number has reached 54 and BEs total 27. We will be releasing a report on this effort after all counting concludes at Davis State Park for the season.
