predicting spatial patterns of eagle migration using a mesoscale atmospheric model: a case study associated with a mountain-ridge wind development.	high resolution numerical atmospheric modeling around a mountain ridge in northeastern british columbia (bc), canada was performed in order to examine the influence of meteorology and topography on golden eagle migration pathways at the meso-scale (tens of km). during three eagle fall migration periods (2007-2009), local meteorological conditions on the day of peak bird counts were modeled using the regional atmospheric modeling system (rams) mesoscale model. hourly local surface wind speed, win ...	2014	23325041
increased flight altitudes among migrating golden eagles suggest turbine avoidance at a rocky mountain wind installation.	potential wind-energy development in the eastern rocky mountain foothills of british columbia, canada, raises concerns due to its overlap with a golden eagle (aquila chrysaetos) migration corridor. the dokie 1 wind energy project is the first development in this area and stands as a model for other projects in the area because of regional consistency in topographic orientation and weather patterns. we visually tracked golden eagles over three fall migration seasons (2009-2011), one pre- and two ...	2014	24671199
