Alaska DOT&PF and US Fish and Wildlife Service Alaska Region partnered to collect eagle nesting data during DOT&PF road construction work in various locations in Southeast Alaska during the summers of 2015-2018. Control nests located outside of any nearby construction activities were also monitored to compare the occupancy and productivity to nests located near road construction projects. Locations were chosen based on current eagle monitoring permit requirements for DOT&PF road construction projects. The preliminary results from this project suggest that bald eagles within Southeast Alaska have adapted to the human landscape and the impact to nest occupation and productivity near highway construction areas is not as significant as once assumed.
