  3. 2. Eyes in the nest : breeding phenology of Golden Eagles characterized using remote cameras

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Richard Larsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Golden eagle; breeding; Aquila chrysaetos; camera trap; phenology; Sweden;

    Abstract : In situ monitoring of raptor breeding ecology with field personnel is costly, difficult and demanding. Installing camera traps in raptor nests can provide researchers with diverse information and long-term monitoring. Furthermore, it allows for relatively cheap data collection. READ MORE

    Keywords : wind power; avifauna; collision risk; birds; raptors; golden eagles; white- tailed eagles; bird mitigation systems;

    Abstract : The expansion of wind power comes with additional risks for bird populations, one of which is the collision with wind turbine components, mainly the rotating blades. In order to mitigate this risk, few systems on the market propose solutions with modules that deter the birds from the wind turbine or trigger the temporary shutdown of the turbines. READ MORE
