Putera J and Miller SD. 2018. Protocol implementation plan for bald eagle monitoring in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, Central Alaska Network: Version 1.0. Natural Resource Report. NPS/CAKN/NRR—2018/1752. National Park Service. Fort Collins, Colorado
This document contains the Protocol Implementation Plan (PIP) for Bald Eagle Monitoring in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve (WRST), Central Alaska Network (CAKN), version 1.0. The Monitoring Bald Eagles in Southwest Alaska Network Parks (SWAN; Wilson et al. 2017) protocol serves as the basis for this document. This PIP provides an overview of the methods for collecting, managing and reporting monitoring data for bald eagles, as described in the CAKN Monitoring Plan (MacCluskie et. al. 2005). The study design, data collection and analytical procedures are based on the SWAN protocol and have been previously published in the Journal of Wildlife Management (Wilson et al. 2014) and in two National Park Service Natural Resource Technical Report (NRTR) series publications (Thompson et al. 2009, Thompson and Phillips 2011). The methods described here also closely follow those outlined in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s post-delisting monitoring plan (USFWS 2009).
