During the past decade (1978-87), breeding success and
productivity of bald eagles on the lower Columbia River (LCR) has
been far below state and regional averages and well below levels
required for delisting under the Endangered Species Act by the
Pacific States Bald Eagle Recovery Plan. Human disturbance was
suspected...
The reproductive ecology, diet and habitat used by flammulated owls (Otus flammeolus) during the breeding seasons of 1983 and 1984 were studied in northeastern Oregon. Remote photography was used at 5 nest cavities to record diet; radiotelemetry was used to determine habitat used for home ranges, nesting, roosting and foraging...
Proper management of peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus)
includes management of its prey. Little quantitative data on
prey selection by peregrine falcons have been collected. The
objective of this study was to determine species and relative
abundance of prey brought to eyries by peregrine falcons during
the nestling stage and to...
I studied abundance patterns and habitat use of eight cavitynesting bird species in the Coast Ranges of Western Oregon during the
spring and summer of 1985 and 1986. Three age classes of unmanaged Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands were selected for study:
young (40-80 yrs), mature (80-200 yrs), and old-growth (>200...
