Survey of Bald Eagle and Osprey Nests between Eaton’s Ferry and the Carolina Sub-station, Roanoke Rapids, NC, January 2015
The Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) conducted a single aerial survey to identify bald eagle and osprey nests within the immediate vicinity of the current power line project between Eaton’s Ferry and the Carolina sub-station, near Roanoke Rapids, NC. Efforts were made to identify all bald eagle nests in the immediate vicinity of the power line right-of-way, with particular emphasis on nests that have management buffer overlaps with project boundaries and osprey nests that occur on Dominion Power structures. In addition to the nest survey, efforts were made to identify private structures that encroach upon Dominion’s right-of-way
Aerial surveys of the proposed York Haven nature like fishway project for nesting bald eagles: 2018 breeding season
Objectives for conducting an eagle survey near the proposed York Haven nature like fishway project are: 1) to document the location, condition, and status, of nesting pairs on lands within an approximate 0.5 mile buffer of proposed construction activities; 2) to provide updated information to pertinent parties; and 3) to increase our understanding of bald eagle natural history in the upper Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Aerial surveys of Lake Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Lake for nesting bald eagles: 2014 season
Objectives for conducting an eagle survey on Dominion lands are: 1) to document the status, distribution, and success of nesting pairs in association with Project reservoirs; 2) to provide updated information to pertinent parties; and 3) to increase our understanding of Bald Eagle natural history in interior regions of Virginia and North Carolina. Results of the survey are intended to support the information needs of Dominion required by the Roanoke Rapids and Gaston FERC License
Bald Eagle Nest Surveys at Fort A.P. Hill 2017
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was taken off of the federal endangered species list in August of 2007 but continues to receive federal protection through the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Department of Defense (DOD) guidance directs military installations to protect nesting locations by following the National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines published by the US Fish & Wildlife Service in order to maintain compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald & Golden Eagle Protection Act. Due to its size, land use history, and geographic location, Fort A.P. Hill harbors a large and increasing population of nesting bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). In the past two years, three new nesting locations have been discovered incidentally, and it is believed that many more exist and have yet to be located. A systematic inventory of nesting locations is critical to maintaining these protections without any adverse effects to the military training mission
An assessment of the Bald Eagle and Great Blue Heron breeding populations along High Rock, Tuckertown, Narrows, and Falls Reservoirs in central North Carolina: 2020 breeding season
The objectives of the annual eagle survey on the Yadkin Project reservoirs are: 1) To document the status, distribution and productivity of nesting pairs in association with the Yadkin reservoirs and associated river corridors. 2) To increase our understanding of Bald Eagle natural history in interior regions of North Carolina. 3) To determine the status and distribution of breeding Great Blue Herons (and associated Great Egrets and Double-crested Cormorants) within the Yadkin Project reservoirs
