Summary

Of the 21 golden eagles satellite-tagged in Salmon, Idaho and Snake River National Conservation Area, 10 were also radio-tagged with tail-mounted very high frequency (VHF) transmitters to allow for behavioral observations between 1993 and 1994. The observed data were originally processed as a DIF file. The Data at Risk preservation project transformed the original DIF file data into CSV format and created a shapefile from the geospatial points. The observed data shapefile (Observed_Data.shp) provides the 682 estimated locations of the golden eagles and all behavioral observations taken in the field. The information provided in the Observed dataset can be related to the other two datasets via each bird’s unique PTT number.

Purpose

The observed data includes all behavioral observations made for the 10 individuals tracked via hand-held receivers in the field. The primary purpose of these field observations was to get an idea of how the birds were using the Orchard Training Area (an area within the Snake River National Conservation Area) during the winter. After getting satellite data for the same individuals the researchers were able to associate observed behaviors with satellite data as well as compare radio tracking methods in the military training area.
