NY Hunters for Eagle Conservation attended the NY Sportsman's Expo last wkend with the North American Lead-Free Partnership and the NYDEC. We had over 1,000 hunters visit us to discuss the benefits of lead-free ammo! The Cornell raptors were *definitely* celebrities.

Bald eagles face highest lead risk of NYS deer scavengers | Cornell Chronicle Bald eagles are the most vulnerable to lead poisoning from hunters' ammunition of more than 30 species known to scavenge deer carcasses in New York state, Cornell research finds.

Research from Cornell and NYDEC shows bald eagles face the highest lead risk among deer scavengers. This is why CSG is continuing our New York Hunters for Eagle Conservation program, supporting voluntary, hunter-led solutions.

Golden eagle Athena returns to Kentucky, providing valuable research in 2025 Researchers at Bernheim Forest collected more than 21,000 data points from Athena during her 6,455-mile roundtrip journey.

Athena, a GPS-tracked golden eagle in KY, is revealing how far these birds travel and how many risks they face along the way. Migration research like this helps guide smarter conservation across the landscapes eagles depend on.

Boise State scientists lead landmark study to protect golden eagles A new research partnership led by Boise State University is taking flight to solve one...

Excited to announce that Boise State, CSG, and USGS are collaborating on a new project to map survival and collision risk at wind farm sites. This work will improve turbine planning and support sustainable renewable-energy growth.

At Avian Haven, most eagles admitted show some level of lead exposure linked to fragments from lead ammo. Sadly, Avian Haven recently lost a golden eagle to extreme lead levels, underscoring the ongoing risk. Officials in Maine are urging a shift to lead-free ammo.

We love the new US Forever stamps illustrated by David Sibley! They depict the life stages of Bald Eagles from hatchling to nestling, juvenile, subadult, and adult. It takes about 5 years for them to molt into their iconic white heads and start to claim breeding territories.

Scotland eagle conservation project records first hatchling to leave a nest in 30 years. David Attenborough name’s him ‘Princeling’ The number of breeding pairs of golden eagles in southern Scotland had fallen to as low as three, but since 2018, the population has risen to more than 50 after eagles from the Scottish Highlands were brought south. Princeling hatched and left the nest after one of the relocated birds, named Emma, mated with Keith, a member of the local eagle population in Galloway.

🎉 HUGE news! Scotland's eagle conservation project celebrates its first fledgling in 30 years, named "Princeling" by Sir David Attenborough himself! #ScottishWildlife #EagleConservation #NatureWins

Using satellite telemetry, CSG staff recently located a bald eagle in Cedar Rapids, IA, tagged by us as a nestling in 2017!
Now a breeding adult, she was seen on a nest there.
Long-term tracking reveals vital insights into eagle movement & nesting sites.

CSG just wrapped up training with our vet partners at MN Raptor Center, teaching how to safely fit a bald eagle with satellite telemetry 🦅
These transmitters help track survival, movement & habitat use. Vital tools for conservation!

Juvenile bald or golden eagle? 🦅 Look for:
🟤 Feathered legs = golden
🟤 Proportionally large bill = bald
🟤 Dihedral glide = golden | Flat wings = bald
🟤 Color: goldens = clean white wing patches, white tail base, dark breast | balds = messy mottling
