Abstract

Nineteen Haliaeetus leucocephalus which had been injured and successfully rehabitated were released and radiotracked. The birds were released during the winter months of 1987-1990 along the Mississippi River in Minnesota. Survival of 13 eagles (68.4%) for >6 wk after release was documented, as was mortality for three. One released female nested for three years following her release and produced one chick in each of two of those years. -from Authors
