Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) productivity surveys were conducted annually from 1972 through 1981 in Seymour Canal, southeast Alaska. The 90 km of coastline supported approximately 90 nests. During late June, the 29% productive nests contained 1.56 eggs or downy young per nest. Productivity dropped to 19% in 1979 and 1980 and 23% in 1981. Nest loss due to natural causes averaged 5% per year.
