Open Space Required

Golden Eagles are large birds with an average wingspan of 7 feet. This means they require open spaces to hunt their favorite food, jack rabbit. This photo is the view from a nest in northern AZ...very rugged terrain near nest site with open space in the distance.

About This Project

What are the egg-laying parameters of Golden Eagle nests throughout Arizona and does climate influence these parameters or nesting success? Do manmade and environmental factors, such as elevation or nest aspect, influence Golden Eagle nest site selection and nesting success in a desert ecosystem?

Until 2011, nearly nothing was known about this bird or its population status in Arizona.
