Abondance et répartition de l’aigle royal au Québec

Abstract

Au Québec, les données colligées jusqu’en 2013 révèlent l’existence de 170 territoires de nidification d’aigles royaux abritant plus de 260 nids et 123 couples territoriaux. L’effectif total de couples territoriaux varierait vraisemblablement entre 300 et 500. L’aire de reproduction de l’aigle royal s’étend à l’est et au nord du Québec, notamment dans les régions administratives de la Gaspésie, de la Côte-Nord et du Nord-du-Québec. La province supporte la plupart des couples territoriaux de la population de l’Est du continent.Most of the known territorial golden eagle pairs in eastern North America are found in Québec, where the species’ breeding range extends over much of the eastern and northern parts of the province – notably covering the administrative regions of the Gaspé Peninsula, the Côte-Nord and the Nord-du-Québec. Data collected for the period up until 2013, contains information pertaining to 170 breeding territories, over 260 nests and 123 territorial pairs. Extrapolation of this information suggests that the province probably supports somewhere between 300 and 500 territorial pairs
