We present a modification of the noosed fish method for trapping the White-bellied Sea-eagle Haliaeetus leucogaster. This technique provides a safe and inexpensive trapping method that may be applied in a water or land setting remote from the nest site. This versatility has great relevance where investigator disturbance may be an issue. Field evidence suggests […]
Sample data were obtained during 223 hours of observation at seven nests of the Pied Currawong Strepera graculina in various breeding stages. At least 13 eggs hatched, of which only six nestlings (46%) fledged. In general, females built nests in 11-13 days and incubated the eggs for 73% of daylight hours. In the nest-building and […]
