Dr Sharpe, We had a discussion today concerning the differences between the behaviour and habits of the Catalina and Santa Cruz eagles vs those some of us have been watching in BC, and several people were interested in any comments you might have on this subject. So I thought I'd post this here. Have you noted any other aspects in which the eagles on the Channel Islands might differ from the "standard" bald eagle pattern?

I think differences in behavior are going to be driven largely by where eagles live. Most southern eagles don't need to migrate and therefore don't have to get their offspring to independence by a certain time to migrate. Northern eagles can be under some pretty tight constraints because of the onset of cold weather. Therefore, the feeding of fledglings may go on longer in southern populations. |
