Annually monitor the size and 

 productivity of Maine's breeding 

 population. 



Identify and characterize all known 

 current breeding sites, historical 

 breeding areas and suitable, potential 

 nesting habitat of bald eagles in Maine.

 eagle habitats threatened by development 

 or other major alterations. 



Monitor organochlorine and heavy metal 

 contaminants in Maine bald eagles and 

 their foods. 



Identify the criteria for suitability of 

 bald eagle breeding and wintering habitat 

 in Maine. 



Obtain further data on dispersal and 

 survivorship via banding of Maine bald 

 eagles, especially juveniles. 



Continue investigations into causes of 

 mortality in Maine bald eagles. 



Promote conservation of bald eagle nesting 

 and wintering areas and enhancement of 

 poten f ial habitats in Maine.
