Social interactions with animal conservation: In partnership with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, we are elucidating the spatial ecology of eagle-gut pile interactions and testing the efficacy and informing the implementation of a non-lead ammunition distribution program to promote eagle conservation and to serve as a means of compensatory mitigation for eagle take at wind facilities, which currently is limited to power-pole retrofits.
