Abstract

Large numbers of Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) concentrate in the McDonald Creek area of Glatier National Park each autumn to feed on a spawning run of kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). This report summarizes the third year of a continuing study of the local and long-range movements of Bald Eagles from this concentration.
